Can't Look Back

[00:14.91] I was on a train out of New Mexico
[00:18.65] Looking for a flame for my heart of coal
[00:22.37] Sold my Nikon lens to get outta town
[00:26.13] Don't know how deep you're in 'til you're tryna get out
[00:29.53] She was floating like a vision down through the aisle
[00:33.74] Mississippi queen with a Tennessee smile
[00:37.41] The smell of cheap coffee and Jamaican rum
[00:41.38] We watched the desert fade in the Santa Fe sun
[00:46.63] I said I'm not feeling right
[00:48.53] She said, "Boy you'll be just fine
[00:50.43] Go ahead and rest your eyes"
[00:52.59] 'Cause you can't look back (can't look back)
[00:56.55] You can't look back (can't look back)
[01:00.39] There ain't no future in the past
[01:04.15] And you can't look back (can't look back)
[01:08.09] With characters galore in the Sayulita sun
[01:11.87] Pineapple pastor with the señoritas
[01:15.69] All the disenfranchised kids in a room
[01:19.39] We were baptized in the Pacific moon
[01:23.31] Someone put a cactus up to my tongue
[01:27.14] You can feel alive and try calling it love
[01:30.98] A boy with a smile handed me his keys
[01:34.67] Said, "Go ahead and try but you'll never leave"
[01:39.86] Someone was singing a hymn
[01:41.71] And the moon, it started to spin
[01:43.65] So I jump right in
[01:45.93] Singing can't look back (can't look back)
[01:49.88] You can't look back (can't look back)
[01:53.52] There ain't no future in the past
[01:57.36] And you can't look back (can't look back)
[02:02.09]
[02:31.79] The years go by like you never planned
[02:35.74] I had missed the flight out of Birmingham
[02:39.49] Way her yellow apron walked in the room
[02:43.26] There was no mistaking the way that she moved
[02:47.16] This is my boy and this is my girl
[02:50.92] Yeah, I'll be employed 'til the end of the world
[02:54.69] Somewhere tonight on the westbound train
[02:58.57] Know there's wild hearts just running away
[03:03.79] That sounded just like a dream
[03:05.52] One she's still singing to me
[03:07.60] It was so bittersweet
[03:09.53] Because you can't look back (can't look back)
[03:13.59] You can't look back (can't look back)
[03:17.47] There ain't no future in the past
[03:20.93] And you can't go back (can't look back)
[03:25.03] You can't look back (can't look back)
[03:28.76] You can't go back (can't look back)
[03:32.60] There ain't no future in the past
[03:36.22] And you can't look back (can't look back)
[03:41.44]
