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
