There's something about the open road
Want to see how far I can go
Gimme one very long day
Point me in any direction
There's nothing about the open road
That I ain't seen before
Putting in the miles is all I ever wanted
Trying to escape a house that was haunted
I have travelled down this road before
The window rolled down on the driver side door
Radio blasting music that couldn't be sadder
Singing about...ah....it doesn't matter
The first town pulls me down and swallows me whole
I was singing a song when something went wrong
The next town had flames that reached so high
Like the colors of dawn streaming across my face
While I went down this road
Down this road
Down this road
Running away from my troubles
Hoping every door has a welcome mat
Right lights on in every room
A place to throw my hat
Over and over again I picture this scene
A mash up of blues and greens
It always looks great on the big screen, or in
Every single one of my dreams
I have travelled down this road before
The window rolled down on the driver side door
Radio blasting music that couldn't be sadder
Singing about...ah....it doesn't matter
The next town was starting to look like the last
I swerved to avoid it but it came on too fast
I somehow made it through without a scratch
And the colors of dawn were streaming across my face
While I went down this road
While I went down this road
