No Lookin' Back

I'm fading out of sight My wheels are the only sound Runnin' at the speed of light I can't slow down now Out on an open road Racin' to beat the night No matter where I'm goin' I guess I'll get all right So why don't I understand What's trippin' me up? It oughta be a simple thing I can't hold on And I can't return It's time to let go Start to live and learn I took a one-way flight Too high to see the ground Now I know how long it takes A heart to come down Alone on the highway now I'm takin' it mile by mile I'd rather be a lonely man Than an imprisoned child So why do I feel the strain That keeps trippin' me up Will it ever be a simple thing I can't hold on And I can't return Rivers will run And bridges will burn I can't say just how But there's no lookin' back now When everything fades away And there's nothing left Then you got to keep rememberin' I can't slow down And I can't return It's time to let go Start to live and learn So why don't I understand What's trippin' me up? Well, it oughta be a simple thing I can't hold on And I can't return Rivers will run And bridges will burn I can't say just how But there's no lookin' back now I won't slow down And I can't return As night turns to dawn The pages will burn I can't say just how But there's no lookin' back now I can't hold on And I can't return It's time to let go Start to live and learn
