You say you want to live for today   Before today is lost   But when the returns come in   Do they balance the cost?   I can see your four wheels spin   I can smell smoke from the blaze   But we aren't moving anyway   If you're seeing past rose colored shades.   Chorus:   If you live like that   Don't look back   'Cause it's cold   And it's mighty   It may turn your back   Blood on the tracks, baby   Blood on the tracks   Blood on the tracks, baby   I said, don't look back.   I see it all around   People want it good and want it fast   As long as it moves you for the moment   It doesn't matter if it lasts   But our love is sweet   It can drive me to my knees   But we still got troubles, you and I   Seeing the forest for the trees.   Chorus.   I've had enough of these two lives   You say you'll give to me   I've had enough of your freedom   You know I want to feel free   I've had enough gospel   I could spin my head around   I said, if you're so caught up in heaven   You don't even see the ground.   Chorus.   All we need is to take time (slow down, new way)   See tomorrow in plain sight (new dawn, new day)   New horizon in plain view   And we're hauling up the engine   To put you straight on through.   Chorus.   Blood on the tracks, baby   Blood on the tracks   Blood on the tracks, baby   I said, don't look back   Blood on the tracks, baby   Blood on the tracks   Blood on the tracks, baby   I said, don't look back   Don't look back   If you live like that
