Open Roads & Your Heart

Yeah…

Small town sky, engine humming in the dark

Just you and me and a runaway heart

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

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

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

All my battles, all my fears

Fade away when you’re right here

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

Yeah we’re wild and a little broken

But baby that’s the best part

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

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

So let’s ride…

Through the silence of the night

Where hope and love collide

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

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.
