No Turning Back Lyrics - American Central Dust - Son Volt

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
