There's a road and if you take it
You'll end up in the place you belong
All you need's an old junker and a full tank of gas
And you're gone
No pretty girl beside you
Just headlights in the sideview tonight
You're waitin' on the sun and the warmth
And the first flash of light
Been a long time since you went it alone
Hard to feel new on these old mountain roads
There's a feeling like flying when you stomp on the gas
And there's a way to get away but you gotta move fast
There's a feeling like flying when you stomp on the gas
And there's a way to get away but you gotta move fast
There's a road and if you take it
Lead you all the way home
Away from highways and interstates and gasoline
And driving alone
No passenger beside you
The yellow line drifting along
The stars and the light from the moon
They leave you cold
Been a long time since you went it alone
Hard to feel new on these old mountain roads
There's a feeling like flying when you stomp on the gas
And there's a way to get away but you gotta move fast
There's a feeling like flying when you stomp on the gas
And there's a way to get away but you gotta move fast
There's a road we been driving for years
We never get to the end
It's all concrete and straightaways
And wishing you were young again
A drifter sits beside you
He makes it any way that he can
He's headed for the coast
And the sea
And the salt and the sand
