I'll be gone now either way that the wind blows
I'll be back though leave a light in the window
When the waves die down I'll be halfway around and I'll call you
When the sun blocks out hold the radio up to the phone

I was dreaming I was heading west thirty days faster
Had a fever woke up in a sweat bailing out the water

Can't go on, can't go back
Can't go on
Can't go back

Heard your [bad word] through the noise
Wrote it in the radio log
Hurt my head wondering what you said
So I threw it overboard

Can't go on, can't go back
Can't go on, can't go back
Can't go on
Can't go back

I was dreaming I was heading west thirty days faster
Had a fever woke up in a sweat bailing out the water

Can't go on, can't go back
Can't go on, can't go back
Can't go on
Can't go back
