[Verse 1]
Got a thermos on the seat and a map folded twice
Red dust on the fender, morning looking nice
No address in the glove box, no promise in the plan
Just a little faith beside me and the wheel inside my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
The road keeps turning past the fields of cane
I breathe in slow and bless the miles again
[Chorus]
Thank You, Father, for the open road
For the quiet where a restless heart can unload
Where we’re headed, I don’t know, but I’m not alone
Your mercy rides beside me wherever I roam
So I’ll keep on rolling with a grateful soul
Thank You for the journey, and the hands that hold
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I pull over where the tall grass bends
Watch the afternoon sail by like an old friend
A small church on the hillside, bell ringing through the heat
I bow my head and count the gifts beneath my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
No need to see the whole road laid out ahead
I’ve got enough light for the next bend
[Chorus]
Thank You, Father, for the open road
For the quiet where a restless heart can unload
Where we’re headed, I don’t know, but I’m not alone
Your mercy rides beside me wherever I roam
So I’ll keep on rolling with a grateful soul
Thank You for the journey, and the hands that hold
[Bridge]
If the night comes down and the signs fade away
I’ll trust the One who carried me today
With every mile, with every breath
I find a little heaven in the road ahead
[Final Chorus]
Thank You, Father, for the open road
For the quiet where a restless heart can unload
Where we’re headed, I don’t know, but I’m not alone
Your mercy rides beside me wherever I roam
I’ll keep on rolling till the far hills show
With a thankful heart for every mile I know
[Outro]
Open road beneath me, morning in the sky
I don’t know where we’re going, but I know You’re by my side
