Big wide road the one I'm meant to take
A big wide road, the path I'm destined to take
Peace of mind won't keep me on the run
Peace of mind can't hold me back for long
In the open sky you flee or fly I'll find my own
In the open sky, you can run or soar, I'll chart my own way
You remind me I'll feel unknown I know
You bring to mind the feelings of being lost, but I know
You want my history
You seek my past,
That's the thing you won't let go
That's the part you just can't release
Oh, you're worried but I'm not
Oh, you're anxious, but I'm calm and free
I'ma take the long road
I'm gonna take the scenic route,
What to do I'll just drive all night
What to do? I’ll just drive through the night
Headlights ain't that bright
Headlights aren't shining so brightly
Such a blur but I just drive all night
Such a blur but I just drive all night
That's life
That's life
'Til the lights are gone
'Til the lights are gone
Small town roads
Small town roads
These streets don't have no names
These streets don't have no names
Take my own if you ain't keepin' me sane
Take my own if you ain't keepin' me sane
You want my history
You want my history
That's the thing you won't let go
That's the thing you won't let go
Oh, you're worried but I'm not
Oh, you're worried but I'm not
I'ma take the long road
I'ma take the long road
What to do I'll just drive all night
What can I do? I'll just keep driving through the night.
Headlights ain't that bright
The headlights aren't shining too bright.
Such a blur but I just drive all night
Everything's a blur, but still I drive on, night after night.
That's life
That's just how life is.
'Til the lights are gone
'Til the lights fade away.
Don't wanna wait all day
I don't want to wait all day.
I don't care what it takes wanna hear you say
I don't care what it takes; I need to hear you say,
I'm gonna be okay
I'm gonna be alright.
Bouta pour another glass for the good old days
Pouring another glass for those good old days.
Hold on for god's sake
Hold on, for heaven's sake.
If you're looking for me then you better pray
If you're looking for me then you better pray
Lonesome in a maze
Lonesome in a maze
And I'm stomping to the rhythm 'til you walk my way
And I'm stomping to the rhythm 'til you walk my way
Let'em know I'm not going back
Let 'em know I'm not going back
But if you wanna follow you know how to find me
But if you wanna follow you know how to find me
