Can't turn back

Knew he was a misfit

Since the age of seventeen

He had to do it his way they said

He should be quarantined

He went looking to the East

He went looking to the West

He was looking for the courage

To see which way was the best.

Can't turn back

Oh no

Look out on his right

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 broke through

He would get back out and ride

Cause you can't turn back...

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

Cling to your beliefs

Even though the world might say your crazy

He always had the feeling

He would get back out alive

But the more that he sees of it

Then the less he fantasizes

Though he's lost a bit of freedom

He has traded it for love

Knows that he'd fight for it

If that push came to shove

Cause you can't turn back...
