No Lookin' Back

(album: The Essential Kenny Loggins - 2002)

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
Racing to beat the night
No matter where I'm going
I guess I'll get alright

So why don't I understand
What's tripping me up?
It oughta be a simple thing

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
Taking it mile by mile
I'd rather be a lonely man
Than an imprisoned child

So why do I feel the strain
That keeps tripping me up
Will it ever be a simple thing

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 looking back now

Bridge:
When everything fades away
And there's nothing left
Then you got to keep remembering

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 tripping 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 looking 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 looking back now
I can't hold on
'N I can't reurn
Its time to let go
'N start to live and learn
