Mat Kearney - Can’t Look Back lyrics

[Verse 1] I was on a train out of 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 'til 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 feelin' right She said, "Boy you'll be just fine Go ahead and rest your eyes" [Chorus] '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) [Verse 2] With characters galore in the Sayulita sun Pinеapple pastor with the señoritas All thе disenfranchised kids in the room We were baptized in the Pacific moon Someone put a cactus up to my tongue You can feel alive and try callin' it love A boy with a smile handed me his keys Said, "Go ahead and try but you'll never leave" Someone was singin' a hymn And the moon, it started to spin So I jump right in [Chorus] Singin' 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) [Bridge] 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 mistake in the way that she moved This is my boy and this is my girl Yeah, I'll be employed 'til the end of the world Somewhere tonight on the westbound train I know there's wild hearts just runnin' away That sounded just like a dream One she's still singing to me It was so bittersweet [Chorus] Because 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 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)
