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

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

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

When everything fades away

And there's nothing left

Then you got to keep rememberin'

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
