[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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
You can't look back
There ain't no future in the past
And you can't look back
[Verse 2]
With characters galore in the Sayulita sun
Pineapple pastor with the señoritas
All the 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"
