Son Volt - No Turning Back lyrics

So much promise with so much pain Surveying eyes overloaded again No signs to follow and the road is dark 16 miles out of Denver was slow 2000 markers more to go Criss crossing the country so many believe in And you're out there doing what you would die for Believing till there's no turning back Take the cities the railroads built Shipping lines and immigrants Like Leadbelly says no use for the Bourgeois Towns Reno, San Antonio Elko, Nuevo Laredo You're beat and bleeding but stubbornly shining Trying not to wear hearts on sleeves That's the way it seems to always be The salt and the steel of the breath of those not keeping still I look for you and I know you're out there In this mind we breathe the same air Lonely roads and freight trains will keep us sane And you're out there doing what you would die for Believing till there's no turning back And you're out there doing what you would die for Believing till there's no turning back
