from the songs album Vox Humana
I'm fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Runnin at the speed of a' light
'n 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 alright
So why don't i understand
What's trippin' me up?
It oughta be a simple thing
Chorus:
I can't hold on
'n i can't return
Its time to let go
'n 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
Chorus:
I can't hold on
And i can't return
Rivers will run
'n bridges will burn
I can't say just how
But there's no lookin' back now
Bridge:
When everything fades away
And there's nothing left
Then you got to keep rememberin'
Chorus:
I won't slow down
'n i can't return
Its time to let go
'n 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
'n i can't return
Rivers will run
'n bridges will burn
I can't say just how
But there's no lookin' back now
I wo't slow down
'n 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
'n i can't reurn
Its time to let go
'n start to live and learn
