Mountains staring at me as they're rolling by
Sunset paints a path across the southern sky
Heading down the dusty highway
There he was in the middle of the road
And I said, "Old man, let me help you
I can take you home"
And he said 

"Son, you can't image the trouble that you're in
This whole world's gone crazy, living in sin
You want peace and understanding and harmony again
But you can't, can't go back to where you've never been"

I’m still running from the shadows and the flames
Searching for a place where someone knows my name
On my way through Arizona I let a fortune teller read my hand
She told me she could see things I'd never understand
And she said 

"Son, you can't image the trouble that you're in
This whole world's gone crazy, living in sin
You want peace and understanding and harmony again
But you can't, can't go back to where you've never been"

I hear in the desert a distant voice singing 

"Son, you can't image the trouble that you're in
This whole world's gone crazy, living in sin
You want peace and understanding and harmony again
But you can't, can't go back 
No, you can't, can't go back to where you've never been"

Can't go back to where you've never been
Can't go back to where you've never been
