Won’t Turn Back Now
This song started as a riff that wrote itself about a relationship I was watching dissolve in real time – fortunately not mine.
Gonna take you to the station, gonna put you on that train
Buy a one-way ticket, send you back to where you came from
Don’t you try to fight it, as if you even care
I been drowning, now I’m coming up for air
Won’t turn back now
I made myself a solemn vow
That I won’t, won’t turn back now
Well you chased off all my friends, replaced them with your own
You took away my life, like a dog without a bone
Don’t act so surprised, the seeds are ones you’ve sown
That grew until I realized I’m better off alone
Won’t turn back now
Made myself a solemn vow
That I won’t, no, won’t turn back now
When I first met you, I thought we were in love
That you’d been sent directly from heaven above
But you were in denial and I was just in lust
And I finally realized I need someone I can trust…and that ain’t you, babe
Now you’ve been gone for ten days, feels more like a year
Even in my rear view mirror you’re not as close as you appear
Packed up all your stuff, put the boxes on a truck
Guess I hope you got ‘em but I just …
Wish you luck
‘Cause I made myself a solemn vow
No, no, won’t turn back now
Won’t turn back now
Ain’t no way I’ll turn back now
