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
