Song Lyrics I Like: No Looking Back

No, I'm not talking about the Rihanna song - probably the girl who took over Britney's throne as the person with the stupidest lyrics playing on the radio right now.

But this isn't a negative post. Anyway, this is a song with both a Kenny Loggins and a Michael MacDonald version. It's upbeat, and it has a positive message.

Im fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Runnin at the speed of a light
n I cant slow down now

Out on an open road
Racin to beat the night
No matter where Im goin
I guess Ill get alright

So why dont I understand
Whats trippin me up?
It oughta be a simple thing

Chorus:I cant hold on
n I cant 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
Id 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 cant hold on
And I cant return
Rivers will run
n bridges will burn
I cant say just how
But theres no lookin back now

Bridge:When everything fades away
And theres nothing left
Then you got to keep rememberin

Chorus:I wont slow down
n I cant return
Its time to let go
n start to live and learn

So why dont I understand
Whats trippin me up?
Well it oughta be a simple thing

I cant hold on
n I cant return
Rivers will run
n bridges will burn
I cant say just how
But theres no lookin back now

I wot slow down
n I cant return
As night turns to dawn
The pages will burn
I cant say just how
But theres no lookin back now

I cant hold on
n I cant reurn
Its time to let go
n start to live and learn
