Rodney Crowell - We Can't Turn Back Now lyrics

It's in the water, it's in the wind It's where you're going, it's where you've been It's what you're doing, it's what you don't It's what you're willing and what you won't A snowcapped mountain, a moonlit path An ice cold shower, a long hot bath It's something waiting for you just a little farther down the line You can't turn back now, you can't turn back now It's too late to turn back now It's young and reckless, it's old and grey It's here tomorrow and gone today It's rich and famous, dark and dull It's Nostradamus meets Jethro Tull It knows your weakness, it feels your strength It jangle jingles, clacks and clinks It's ever present, but it's also like there's nothing there at all You can't turn back now, you can't turn back now It's too late to turn back now Democracy won't work if we're asleep That kind of freedom is a vigil you must keep, you've gotta dig deep It's a wicked world, and we're all in it But that could change in a New York minute Holy terror and toxic gas ain't got nothing on leaves of gra** So pray for peace until you're hoarse And maybe fear will run its course May God forgive us our insanity, and we'll keep pressing on You can't turn back now, you can't turn back now It's too late to turn back now It's too late to turn back now
