Son Volt Lyrics

"No Turning Back" lyrics


So much promise with so much pain
Surveying eyes overloaded again
No signs to follow and the road is dark

16 miles out of Denver was slow
2000 markers more to go
Criss-crossing the country so many believe in

You're out there doing what you would die for
Believing there's no turning back

Let's take the cities that railroads built
Shipping lines and immigrants
Like Leadbelly says no use for the
Bourgousie towns

Reno—San Antonio
Elko—Nuevo Laredo
You're beat and bleeding
But stubbornly shining

Trying not to wear hearts on sleeves
But that's the way it seems to always be
The salt and the steel of the breath
Of those not keeping still

I look for you and I know you're out there
In this mind we breathe the same air
Lonely roads and freight trains
Will keep us sane

You're out there doing what you would die for
Believing till there's no turning back
