"No Turning Back" lyrics

"No Turning Back"

I was walking along on that railroad track
With my hat in my hand, the hot sun on my neck
I felt my heart beating faster every step I took
I heard the sound of some laughter but I did not look
Behind that wall of desire that's hiding my ball and chain

I took a long long sip from my bottle of hope
I climbed the mountain of future up on that burning rope
I crossed the deep sea of whiskey just to see you again
And you know that it's true, babe

For all in all there's no turning back
No way of re-arranging
There's much too many cracks on the tracks
There's no more turning back

And all we need is a new tomorrow
No more tears and no more sorrow
All we need is another story
For there's no turning back

And then the train passed by. No. It did not stop
Carrying a mountain of people from the floor to the top
They had familiar faces looked a lot like me
I saw that glance in their eyes. They really were a lot like me
I heard the same laughter like so many times before

So, I took a deep deep breath from that engine steam
To feed my soul with hope heading for another dream
I felt the strength of desire needing you once again
And you got to believe it

All in all there's no turning back
No way to re-arrange
'Cause there's much too many cracks on the tracks
There's no more turning back

And all we need is a new tomorrow
No more tears and no more sorrow
All we need is another story
For there's no turning back

And then the train was gone and in the middle of the night I woke without you, baby
In some lonely and sad hotel
With smoky windows and broken shells
Again
Knowing that

All in all there's no turning back
No way of re-arranging
There's much too many cracks on the tracks
There's no more turning back

And all we need is a new tomorrow
No more tears and no more sorrow
All we need is another story
For there's no turning back

And all in all there's no turning back
There's no way of re-arranging
There's much too many cracks on the tracks
There's no more turning back

No, no, no more turning back
