Kris Delmhorst - Open Road Lyrics

You could make a happy ever after with all the love I've thrown away

You could make some golden tomorrow with everything I left today

You could make a mountain of excuses, find me any reason to stay

But it's too late for making offers, too late for anything that anyone might say



Cause I got open road ahead of me

And it goes as far as I can see



(same as verse 1)

Once you had everything to teach me, once I had everything to learn

Now you can stand beside me one more time and watch these pretty bridges burn

And then you can take the high road way up there where everything's so clear

And I will keep wandering around these back alleyways

I will try to find my own way out of here, try to find that



Open road ahead of me

Cause it goes as far as I can see

And if the truth be told I'd live my life that way

With an open road, nothing to hold, and nothing standing in my way



And I will leave this sweet New England, I will leave these ghosts of you

I will climb onto that train, find a seat that's got no view

And I will take what I need with me, I will not take what I don't

And I will say that I'll be back here but I'll know that I won't

And I will live with empty pockets, I will live with empty sleeves

And I will know that there is nothing in this world I cannot leave

And I will tell my friends I love them, I will just hope that they know

That I need nobody beside me on this open road



You could make a happy ever after
