I was on a downhill route
Feeling blue ain't no doubt
World around me didn't make no sense
Seemed I was living with coincidence
I knew I had to change my way
But I couldn't see through the haze
I heard people laughing merrily
I kept wondering what was wrong with me
And I knew That If I just kept pushing on
There would be someone to hear my song
In a world that's turned to rust
It seemed so clear to me
There ain't no turning back
I always tried to find some peace
Seemed leaving was my best release
Knew I couldn't stay too long
Before they knew it well I'd be gone
Rolling thunder would be in my bed
Early next morning well I'd wake up dead
Didn't realize the shape the shape I was in I didn't realize I need a friend
And I knew
That if I just keep pushing on
There would be someone to hear my song
In a world that's full of rust
It seemed so clear to me
Lifetimes come lifetimes go
Taking all you can
Sooner or later something snaps and you understand
Yes indeed
There ain't no turning back
There ain't no turning back
So take me to the timberline
The feeling there is so sublime
She gave me something that I can't explain
Wont find me standing in the cold steel rain
Gave me something that feels so right
Got me an apple gonna take a bite
No longer living in the wilderness
She got me singing yes, yes, yes
And I knew
And I knew
That if I just keep pushing on
There would be someone to hear my song
In a world that's full of rust
It seemed so clear to me
