Terry Lee Hale - Can't Get Back (Just Like That) Lyrics

Can't Get Back (Just Like That)

It's an easy life imagination won't grow
Her silence comes from shadows
An easy life, not scared of tomorrow
Yesterday's gone, unraveled
An easy life, passing strange
The root of her sorrow
Too young to be so old

And just like that you can't get back alone
Just like that, you can't get back

The black phone rings, two times a day
It's Mother, same old thing
A shivering plain, that eats away
Leaves a blank page, for do what you're told
The work of her hands, why bother?
It's Chaucer, imagine Chaucer

And just like that, you can't get back home
Just like that, you can't get back

Deception eats away everything good
A congregation of vapor
Some might even say wreck less
Living that way is feckless
Wreckless feckless
You could end up with all of nothing
Everything you don't need
Living parts would only tickle
Hooked up that way is a beast
Heaven forgetting, spun off the track
The go-cart spilled over
The best parts held back, held back

And just like that you can't get back alone
Just like that you can't get back home
Just like that, just like that
