can't turn back
cochrane, tom
knew he was a misfit since the age of seventeen
he had to do it his way they said
to see which way was the best
cause you can't turn back - oh
he would look out on his left
he would look out in the distance
where he could see the wilderness
when the thunderhead approached
he would pull off to the side
and when the sun would break through
he would get back out and ride
cause you can't turn back - oh
you can try to see the forest for the trees
the wind storm for the breeze
no one ever said that it would be that easy
you make your way through the debris
stand up for your beliefs
even though the world might say you're crazy
always had the feeling he would get out alive
but the more that he sees of it
then the less he fantasized
though he lost a bit of freedom
he had traded it for love
you know he'd fight for it if that push came to shove
cause you can't turn back - oh
