If it was a 1957 song his wife or ex wife must have had it published for him.

That might be why it was released at such a late date.

Back on Me by 10 Pound Test

No video yet, but here are the lyrics:

I'm sitting here watching the clock go 'round and 'round
Wondering if the answers ever will be found
To the questions that bother me
Who am I and what will I be
20 years from now, when I look back on me.

I tried different jobs, but none of them were right
I tried to stay in school, but I kept losing sight
'Cause the books and exams did not seem real
Told myself I'd put an end to my ordeal
20 years from now, when I look back on me

I always thought that things would get clearer when I got older
I never thought that it would be like this
At this point in my life, my flame's nothing but a smolder
I think of all the chances I've missed...

Solo

They say that the truth will only set you free
So as I sit here watching the clock, the answer's plain to see
It's not so much about fame and wealth
I just wanna be able to respect myself
20 years from now, when I look back on me.
Back on me...

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Shortly before his death in 1977, Cyril Ritchard was asked what was his favorite role on the stage. He said it was Captain Hook in “Peter Pan” because it was rare for an actor to be given such a juicy role where he could chew the scenery.
