I was on a train out of 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 aisle
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 Boy you'll be just fine
Go ahead and rest your eyes
'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
With characters galore
in the Sayulita sun
Pinеapple pastor
with the senoritas
All thе disenfranchised kids
in the room
We were baptized
in the Pacific moon
Someone put a cactus up
to my tongue
You can feel alive 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
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
The years go by
like you never planned
I had missed a flight
out of Birmingham
The way her yellow apron
walked in the room
There was no mistake
in the way that she moved
This is my boy and this is my girl
Yeah I'll be employed
'til the end of the world
Somewhere tonight
on the westbound train
I know there's wild hearts
just runnin' away
That sounded just like a dream
One she's still singing to me
It was so bittersweet
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
