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
