OPEN ROAD

PACKED UP MY OLD GREY FORD WITH 20 YEARS OF MEMORIES
HAD TO SAY GOODBYE CAUSE YOU TOLD ME WE WERE THROUGH
YOU'D FOUND YOURSELF A NEW LOVE AS WE'D DRIFTED APART
TURNS OUT THE RUMOURS ON THE STREET WERE ALL TRUE
GOTTA LEAVE TO CLEAR MY RACING HEAD
FIND A DIFFERENT PLACE TO BE INSTEAD 

CHORUS

I'M ON THE OPEN ROAD TO HEAL MY BROKEN HEART
3,000 MILES OF TEARS TO DISSOLVE
NEED TO GET AWAY TO MAKE A BRAND-NEW START
MEND THE PAIN THAT'S IN MY SOUL
ON THE OPEN ROAD

VERSE 2

LEFT DOWNTOWN BOSTON WITH MY SIGHTS ON LA
THROUGH THE ROLLING HILLS YOU'RE PLAYING ON MY MIND
BY THE GREEN CORNFIELDS OF NEBRASKA MY HEART BEGINS TO EASE
AT THE WHITE-TOP ROCKIES I LEFT A PIECE OF YOU BEHIND
I'M BEGINNING TO HEAL WITH EACH PASSING DAY
REBUILDING MY LIFE, I KNOW I'LL FIND THE WAY

CHORUS

BRIDGE

WHEN I CROSS THE LINE INTO CALIFORNIA I CAN BREATHE AGAIN
YOU'RE NEARLY OUT OF MY THOUGHTS AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN'T CONTEND

FINAL CHORUS

I'M ON THE OPEN ROAD TO HEAL MY BROKEN HEART
3,000 MILES OF TEARS TO DISSOLVE
HAD TO GET AWAY TO MAKE A BRAND NEW START
TO MEND THE PAIN THAT WAS IN MY SOUL
ON THE OPEN ROAD
