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
