(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
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
