Verse 1
That day I got in the car and drove away,
To a far-off place with no map in my hand.
I didn’t know where this road would lead,
So I crossed my fingers, hoping it was the right choice.
Alone with my thoughts as loneliness filled the car,
Calling everyone I knew to break the silence of my fear.
Pre-Chorus
Tired eyes, heavy thoughts as I pulled into the next stop,
To rest my head and quiet my mind.
Night slipped by when I closed my eyes,
Morning came and the sun fell on my face
I found myself on the lonely road again.
Chorus
The open road is my new home, it’s where I belong.
It made me free, like a bird spreading her wings.
Oh, I know this is where my soul belongs.
The open road is my home, and it’s calling me on.
Verse 2
So many miles still left to go,
The closer I get, the more the fear subsides.
I watch the beautiful sights roll by, they bring me closer to being free,
Each small town a promise that this future is mine.
Pre-Chorus
Four days flew by in the blink of an eye,
I made my way to my final destination to rest my head.
Kick my shoes off, open the curtains, fall down to my knees
Tears fill my eyes, and I know this is where I belong.
