Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro-deep rough spoken] Yeah… Small town sky, engine humming in the dark Just you and me and a runaway heart [Verse 1] Dust on my boots, gravel under these tires Chasing down dreams that burned like fire I spent years running from who I was Trying to drown every scar in a barroom buzz Every mile felt like a war inside Every night I had nowhere to hide Then I saw you standing in that neon light And somehow the world started feeling right Pre-Chorus You looked at me like you knew my past Like every broken road could finally last [Chorus] So let’s ride these open roads forever With the moon hanging over our hearts Freedom blowing through your hair tonight Like the world is giving us a start When the darkness whispers I’m not enough And the past tries pulling me apart I remember hope when I see your eyes And freedom when I hold your heart [Verse 2] We drove all night past the county line Radio playing some old love rhyme Your feet on the dash, stars in your eyes Laughing like we had nothing to hide You said, “Maybe life ain’t meant to be safe Maybe love is a beautiful risk to take” And in that moment I finally knew Every road I ran led me to you [Pre-Chorus] All my battles, all my fears Fade away when you’re right here [Chorus] So let’s ride these open roads forever With the moon hanging over our hearts Freedom blowing through your hair tonight Like the world is giving us a start When the darkness whispers I’m not enough And the past tries pulling me apart I remember hope when I see your eyes And freedom when I hold your heart [Post-Chorus] Yeah we’re wild and a little broken But baby that’s the best part [Verse 3 (more emotional)] I’ve seen storms roll over my soul Felt the weight of losing control Thought the light had left my life Till you showed up in that summer night Now every sunrise feels brand new Like the sky painted gold for you And every mile we leave behind Is another chain I left untied [Bridge] Maybe I was lost Maybe I was barely alive Running from the ghosts That were living in my mind But you pulled me from the edge With just a whisper and a spark Now the fire in my chest Is your name inside my heart If tomorrow falls apart And the world turns cold and dark I’ll still find my way back home By the rhythm of your heart [country solo] [Break / Soft Chorus] So let’s ride… Through the silence of the night Where hope and love collide [Final Chorus] Let’s ride these open roads forever With the stars falling into our hands Freedom roaring through the midnight wind Like we finally understand When the darkness whispers I’m not enough And the past tries tearing me apart I remember hope when I see your eyes And freedom when I hold your heart [Outro] Yeah the road goes on for miles tonight But I ain’t scared of where we start Cause the whole damn world feels wide and free When I’m driving with your heart Open roads… Your hand in mine… And hope riding shotgun this time.
