Cochrane, Tom - Can't Turn Back Lyrics
Knew he was a misfit since the age of seventeen
He had to do it his way they said, he should be quarantined
Looking to the East, and looking to the West
Looking for the courage, to see which way was the best
Look out on his right, he would look out on his left
He would look out in the distance, where he could see the wilderness
When the thunderhead approached, he would pull off to the side
And when the sun would break through, he would get back out and ride
Cause you can't turn back (can't turn back) - oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) - oh, no
You can try to see the forest for the trees, the wind storm for the breeze
You make your way through the debris, stand up for your beliefs
Even though the world might say you're crazy
Always had the feeling he would get out alive
But the more that he sees of it, then the less he fantasized
Though he lost a bit of freedom, he had traded it for love
You know he'd fight for it if that push came to shove
Cause you can't turn back (can't turn back) - oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) - oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) - oh, no...
Stand back!
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) - oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) - oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) - oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back)
Stand up (can't turn back)
Stand up, stand up (can't turn back)
Oh, no...

My man Tubbs got messed with in that 'Tale of the Goat' episode, but he held on and got the job done, as Tubbs did:-).
Opening part is EPIC, super song
RIP Leilani Sotelo
INCREDIBLE SONG!😊
I remember watching The Miami Vice episode: "Tale of The Goat" when it 1st ran in 1985. This song was playing during a Voodoo Ritual Scene.
I was in High School. Damn! The 80's was Cool!
No, No Legba!!

awesome song!
the good all times red Rider thanks for the great and ultimate memories,,,,Daniel Rot
"Neruda" defines 80's AOR. What saddens me is that all modern day American classic rock radio remembers from RR is "Lunatic Fringe". Those same stations won't even re-explore "Neruda". I know Canadian rock radio plays more than just "Lunatic Fringe".

good song
Another great Red Rider tune that enhanced the Miami Vice TV series.
pretty awesome music,known this since 1990
Love this Red Rider song.
and the first?
i love this song. can't turn back
Red Rider's album, Neruda, was, and still is, one of the greatest musical mindfuck trips one can go on. When it first came out, I smoked a large chunk of black Kashmiri hashish laced with opium and put this album on my system and cranked it over my Bose 901s (600 watts unlimited). The lyrics are almost too perfect to comprehend. From what my buddies tell me, I just kept playing it over and over and I was so fried that when one of them tried to change the album I threatened to kill him.
Friendless fuck. What makes you think that ANYONE gives a fuck about your antics, loser?
tyme4mike Your the fuccin man Mike !
CZECH MATE Fuck the czech cant even sustian a country pos women beaters.
Second best Rider song.
i was 11 when mad mad world came out. and fell in love with the cassette, i played it soo much. i found victory day in zellers and literally begged my grandma to buy it for me ..while everyone of my friends was listening to house of pain and stuff i'm rocking out to red rider on.. hoping i can download to my ipod:D
@stevewm1963 That's a bogus statement dude. What is "failure" exactly? I'm sure they're very proud of their hard work as are thousands of fans. Are they living in mansions in Beverly Hills? No. But I bet they have no regrets. Pick your words more carefully.
Tom is Cancon royalty. Just going through 5 hrs of his stuff. Outstanding Canadian talent. I think he did ok in the US.
@bucky468 prog wave
i was 12 when i listened to life is a highway, begged my mom to buy me the mad mad world tape .. then got my grandma to buy all these tapes hahaha i wish i still had them..
Thanks for posting this song. Haven't heard this for ages.
"Space. The Final Frontier....thies are the voyeges of the strship Red Rider..its 5000000 year mition to expor strange new genres...& to seek out new song from new sivulivesatins......& to boldley rock out like no man has rock'ed out befor"
Thanks for posting this great song. Neruda is an undiscovered masterpiece but I always say ' If the critiques love it, I hate it '
to me it reminds me of the star trek theme withe the synthsizers
Reminds me of the "Miami Vice" episode where Ricardo Tubbs is turned into a zombie by Clarence Williams III (playing some character named Legba).
Good to see these old Red Rider songs. By all rights they should be wildly popular, but I guess I will have to settle for hoping that those who stumble across them appreciate what they've found.
