[Verse 1]
On the road again
The train's coming
Gonna do it like the rest
It seems funny
Gonna hop the motherfucker
I'm riding the rail
[whispered vocals] freedom
Gonna hit the open road
Not coming home
Let my face touch the snow
That's all I know
Gonna hop the motherfucker
I'm riding the rail
[whispered vocals] freedom
The wheels won't quit turning
The wind won't stop howling
The road's what I'm earning
The cold's what I'm feeling
[Chorus]
I wanna hit the open road
I want freedom
[Verse 2]
Been a long time
Since I called home
It's not like I've been gone
But I'm not there
It don't matter anyway
I've got something
That will last me 'til my grave
I wanna hit the open road
I want freedom
I'm gonna hit the open road
I want freedom
[Bridge]
Not a day goes by
I don't want to die
But if I said I wasn't happy
I'd be lying
And I'm a piece of shit
And I know it
And that's all there is to it
I wanna hit the open road
I want freedom
[Chorus]
I'm gonna hit the open road
I want freedom
I'm gonna hit the open road
I want freedom
I'm gonna hit the open road
I want freedom
I'm gonna hit the open road
I want freedom
