Lyrics:

BY MICHAEL MCDONALD/KENNY LOGGINS & ED SANFORD



I'M FADING OUT OF SIGHT

MY WHEELS ARE THE ONLY SOUND

RUNNIN' AT THE SPEED OF SIGHT

I CAN'T SLOW DOWN



OUT ON THE OPEN ROAD

RACING TO BEAT THE NIGHT

NO MATTER WHERE I GO

GUESS I'LL GET THERE ALL RIGHT



SO WHY DON'T I UNDERSTAND

WHAT'S TRIPPIN' ME UP

IT USED TO BE A SIMPLE THING



CHORUS:

I CAN'T HOLD ON, I CAN'T RETURN

TIME TO LET GO, START TO LIVE AND LEARN



I TOOK THE ONE WAY FLIGHT

TOO HIGH TO SEE THE GROUND

NOW I KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES

A HEART TO COME DOWN



WHY DON'T I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S TRIPPIN' ME UP

IT OUGHT TO BE A SIMPLE THING



CHORUS:



I CAN'T HOLD ON, I CAN'T RETURN

RIVERS WILL RUN, BRIDGES WILL BURN

I'M NOT SURE JUST HOW

BUT THERE'S NO LOOKIN' BACK NOW
