No Turning Back - Son Volt

So much promise with so much pain

Surveying eyes overloaded again

No signs to follow and the road is dark

16 miles out of Denver was slow

2000 markers more to go Criss crossing the country so many believe in And you’re out there doing what you would die for

Believing till there’s no turning back

Take the cities the railroads built

Shipping lines and immigrants

Like Leadbelly says no use for the Bourgeois Towns

Reno, San Antonio

Elko, Nuevo Laredo

You’re beat and bleeding but stubbornly shining

Trying not to wear hearts on sleeves

That’s the way it seems to always be The salt and the steel of the breath of those not keeping still

I look for you and I know you’re out there

In this mind we breathe the same air

Lonely roads and freight trains will keep us sane

And you’re out there doing what you would die for

Believing till there’s no turning back

And you’re out there doing what you would die for

Believing till there’s no turning back
