No Lookin' Back

I'm fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Running at the speed of of light
And 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 there, alright

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 and 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
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
And 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 and start to live and learn

So why don't I understand, yeah
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
Well 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 bridges will burn
Well 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 and start to live and learn
