[Verse 1]
I was on a train out in New Mexico
Looking for a flame for my heart of coal
Sold my Nikon lens to get outta town
Don't know how deep you're in 'til you're tryna get out
She was floating like a vision down through the [?]
Mississippi queen with a Tennessee smile
The smell of cheap coffee and Jamaican rum
We watched the desert fade in the Santa Fe sun
I said I'm not feelin' right
She said, "Well you'll be just fine
Go ahead and rest 'til the rise"
[Chorus]
'Cause you can't look back (Can't look back)
You can't look back (Can't look back)
There ain't no future in the past
And you can't look back (Can't look back)
[Verse 2]
With characters galore in the [?] sun
Pinеapple pastor with the señoritas
All thе disenfranchised kids in a room
We were baptized in the Pacific moon
Someone put a cactus up to my tongue
You can feel the love and try callin' it love
A boy with a smile handed me his keys
Said, "Go ahead and try but you'll never leave"
Someone was singin' a hymn
And the moon, it started to spin
So I jump right in
[Chorus]
Singin' can't look back (Can't look back)
You can't look back (Can't look back)
There ain't no future in the past
And you can't look back (Can't look back)
[Bridge]
The years go by like you never planned
I had missed the flight out of Birmingham
Wear your yellow hairpin and walked in the moon
There was no mistakin' the way that she moved
This is my boy and this is my girl
Yeah, I'll be in [?] till the end of the world
Somewhere tonight on the westbound train
Know these wild hearts just runnin' away
That sounded just like a dream
Won't she still sing it to me?
It was so bittersweet
[Chorus]
Because you can't look back (Can't look back)
You can't look back (Can't look back)
There ain't no future in the past
And you can't go back (Can't look back)
You can't look back (Can't look back)
You can't go back (Can't look back)
There ain't no future in the past
And you can't look back (Can't look back)
