[INTRO] [FAST PULSING ANALOG SYNTH RIFF] [DRUMS CRASH IN] [GUITAR JOINS SYNTH RIFF] Ohhh-ohhh! [VERSE 1] She keeps a suitcase by the bedroom door Says she can't take this town anymore Daddy says she's crazy Mama says she'll learn But every bridge behind her Is another one to burn She's got a photograph Tucked inside her coat A little bit of money And a goodbye note She hears the highway calling Like a voice out in the dark Tonight she's gonna follow Wherever it starts [PRE-CHORUS] She's been waiting She's been holding on But when that midnight train rolls through SHE'LL BE GONE! [CHORUS] NO TURNING BACK! She's running into the night NO TURNING BACK! She's gonna make it this time With the city getting smaller In the rearview glass She's got one way out And she's moving fast NO TURNING BACK! No turning back! [KEYBOARD RIFF] [VERSE 2] Streetlights flashing Across her face Every mile puts another memory In its place She don't know where she's going She don't care anymore Anything's better Than what she's leaving for There's a station on the radio Fading in and out Somebody singing everything She's been thinking about She rolls down the window Lets the cold wind blow There's a whole world waiting And she's ready to go [PRE-CHORUS] She's been waiting She's been holding on But when the morning finds this town SHE'LL BE GONE! [CHORUS] NO TURNING BACK! She's running into the night NO TURNING BACK! She's gonna make it this time With the city getting smaller In the rearview glass She's got one way out And she's moving fast NO TURNING BACK! No turning back! [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] [FAST SYNTH RIFF] [GUITAR ANSWERS] [KEYBOARD AND GUITAR TRADE LICKS] [GUITAR SOLO] [BRIDGE] Someday they'll ask her Where it all went wrong Someday they'll wonder Where that girl has gone But somewhere past the county line She's finally feeling free And for the first time in her life SHE'S WHO SHE WANTS TO BE! [DRUM FILL] [FINAL CHORUS] NO TURNING BACK! She's running into the night NO TURNING BACK! She's gonna make it this time Let the old world disappear Let the new one begin She's never going back To where she's already been NO TURNING BACK! She's got nothing left to lose NO TURNING BACK! She's got everything to prove Whoa-oh-oh! NO TURNING BACK! Whoa-oh-oh! NO TURNING BACK! [OUTRO] [KEYBOARD RIFF RETURNS] No turning... No turning... No turning... BACK! [FINAL BAND HIT]
