Love And Theft - Can't Go Back lyrics

Mountains starin' at me as they're rollin' by
Sunset paints a path across the Southern sky
Headin' down the dusty highway
There he was in the middle of the road
I said, "Old man, let me help you
I can take you home"

And he said, "Son you can't imagine the
Trouble that you been
This whole world's gone crazy, livin' in sin
We want peace and understandin'
And harmony again but, you can't
Can't go back to where you've never been"
I'm still runnin' from the
Shadows and the flames
Searchin' for a place where
Someone knows my name
On my way through Arizona
I let a fortuneteller read my hand
She told me she could see
Things I'd never understand

She said, "Son
You can't imagine the trouble that you been
This whole world's gone crazy, livin' in sin
We want peace and understandin'
And harmony again but, you can't
Can't go back to where you've never been"

I hear in the desert wind a distant voice

Singin', "Son
You can't imagine the trouble that you been
This whole world's gone crazy, livin' in sin
We want peace and understandin'
And harmony again
But, you can't, can't go back no, you can't
Can't go back to where you've never been"

You can't go back to where you've never been
Can't go back to where you've never been
