The Open Road

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.
