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
