[Verse 1]
Boots on the porch, dawn in my cup
Screen door slammin', I'm packin' up
Got a map folded by a worn-out hand
One good tank, and a wild land
Dust on my jeans, sun on my face
No clock on me, no cage, no race
I hear the river call my name
I was born to leave, not stay the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Take the long way out
Let the tires sing
Feel that heavy heart
Lose its chain
I can taste the sky
On a bitter breeze
If I'm moving on
Then I'm moving free
[Chorus]
Spirit free, spirit free (spirit free)
Let it run through me
Peace like rain, peace like rain (peace like rain)
Wash over me
Wide road, open sky
I was made to roam
Spirit free, spirit free
Carry me home
[Verse 2]
Got a beat-up truck and a battered grin
Radio strong when the night rolls in
Backroad lights and a river bend
Every goodbye just starts again
I don't need gold, I don't need fame
Just a clean sunrise and my own name
If my soul gets loud, let it sing
Out here, baby, I can be anything
[Pre-Chorus]
Take the long way out
Let the tires sing
Feel that heavy heart
Lose its chain
I can taste the sky
On a bitter breeze
If I'm moving on
Then I'm moving free
[Chorus]
Spirit free, spirit free (spirit free)
Let it run through me
Peace like rain, peace like rain (peace like rain)
Wash over me
Wide road, open sky
I was made to roam
Spirit free, spirit free
Carry me home
[Bridge]
Hold me close, then let me go
I'm just a flame in the open road
If the night gets cold, I'll still believe
There's a better world out there for me
Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh)
I hear it call, I hear it call
Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh)
I won't fall, I won't fall
[Final Chorus]
Spirit free, spirit free (spirit free)
Let it run through me
Peace like rain, peace like rain (peace like rain)
Wash over me
Wide road, open sky
I was made to roam
Spirit free, spirit free
Carry me home
