[Intro]
Dreams of Texas, driving down that long highway
Trying to get there, step by step every day
Gathering all my courage, counting every dime
Got my sights set high, gotta make it in due time
[Verse 1]
Sitting here working, planning my escape
Fueling up my hopes, no room for escape
Need my camper, truck, and a van
Got my game plan, every chance I can
[Pre-Chorus]
Picking up sticks and cans in the rain
Every little dollar, easing the pain
Friends saving cans, fueling my flight
Every penny counts, towards that moonlit night
[Chorus]
Oh, I gotta make it, all the way to the fall
Saving up for tolls and campgrounds call
Forty-four hours on the road, but I believe
Every mile I travel, brings me closer to what I dream
[Verse 2]
DoorDash calls, eight bucks an hour fresh
Picking up cans, crushing hopes with each mesh
Walking down roads, my goal in sight
Every step I take is shining bright
[Pre-Chorus]
Money in my pocket, dreams in my mind
Every little job, a new star I find
Counting every dollar, every pound I gain
To see Texas in the fall, to feel no pain
[Chorus]
Oh, I gotta make it, all the way to the fall
Saving up for tolls and campgrounds call
Forty-four hours on the road, but I believe
Every mile I travel, brings me closer to what I dream
[Bridge]
Soon I'll be rolling down that long highway
Leaving worries and doubts behind today
With work and hope, I’ll get there fast
Living for the future, not the past
[Outro]
Texas waits with open arms so wide
I'll get there soon, with hopes and pride
Every dollar saved, every step I choose
Brings me closer to my dream, I won't lose
