I was on a train outta 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 till 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 feeling 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

Pineapple pastor with the señoritas

All the disenfranchised kids in a room

We were baptized in the Pacific moon

Someone put a cactus up to my tongue

You can feel alive and try calling it love

A boy with a smile handed me his keys

Said, "Go ahead and try but you'll never leave"

Someone was singing a hymn

And the moon started to spin

So I jump right in

Singing 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 mistaking in the way that she moved

This is my boy and this is my girl

Now I'll be employed till the end of the world

Somewhere tonight on the westbound train

I know there's wild hearts just running away

It sounded just like a dream

One that she's still singing to me?

It was so bittersweet

Because I 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)
