Son Volt - No Turning Back lyrics
rate meSo much promise with so much pain<br />
Surveying eyes overloaded again<br />
No signs to follow and the road is dark<br />
<br />
16 miles out of Denver was slow<br />
2000 markers more to go<br />
Criss crossing the country so many believe in<br />
<br />
And you're out there doing what you would die for<br />
Believing till there's no turning back<br />
<br />
Take the cities the railroads built<br />
Shipping lines and immigrants<br />
Like Leadbelly says no use for the Bourgeois Towns<br />
<br />
Reno, San Antonio<br />
Elko, Nuevo Laredo<br />
You're beat and bleeding but stubbornly shining<br />
<br />
Trying not to wear hearts on sleeves<br />
That's the way it seems to always be<br />
The salt and the steel of the breath of those not keeping still<br />
<br />
I look for you and I know you're out there<br />
In this mind we breathe the same air<br />
Lonely roads and freight trains will keep us sane<br />
<br />
And you're out there doing what you would die for<br />
Believing till there's no turning back<br />
And you're out there doing what you would die for<br />
Believing till there's no turning back<br /><br />
