Highway Wide Open

[Verse 1]
Sunroof stuck
But the sky’s still blue
Got a coffee cup and an old worn boot
Gas tank low
But the day feels high
Singing wrong words
Letting time slide by
[Pre-Chorus]
Windows down on this old dirt lane
Let the wind rename my name
Every mile just laughs at yesterday
I’m okay
I’m okay (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m happy and free on this highway wide open
Dust on my jeans
But my heart’s still golden
Laughing at the rain on my cracked windshield
Got nothing to lose
And it feels so real
Yeah
I’m happy and free
That’s all I wanna be
[Verse 2]
Best friend riding in the passenger seat
Bare feet up
Keeping time on the beat
Plans so loose
They fall through my hands
We just chase clouds
We don’t chase a plan
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fence post flies right by
Like all the times I used to cry
But the past turns small in the rearview frame
Call my name
Call my name (woah)
[Chorus]
I’m happy and free on this highway wide open
Dust on my jeans
But my heart’s still golden
Laughing at the rain on my cracked windshield
Got nothing to lose
And it feels so real
Yeah
I’m happy and free
That’s all I wanna be
[Bridge]
Nobody’s calling
And that’s alright
I’ll send a postcard from the next stoplight
“Wish you were here in this easy breeze
Where the sun comes up just to dance with me”
[Chorus]
I’m happy and free on this highway wide open
Dust on my jeans
But my heart’s still golden
Laughing at the rain on my cracked windshield
Got nothing to lose
And it feels so real
Yeah
I’m happy and free
That’s all I wanna be
Happy and free
That’s all I wanna be
