[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] There’re some nights I sit up Wondering if this is the life for me. Wondering if there’s something more. Wondering where else I could be. I sit looking up at the starry sky And think about all the roads I’ve walked, About the side roads I shrugged off, And the possibilities I passed up. I guess I’m never satisfied With everything I’ve accrued through the years, Can’t quiet this restless heart. It’s the not knowing that I most fear. [Chorus] There’s nothing like the open road Nothing like that black ribbon of hope, To show you what you really want, The taste of freedom we all know. I wanna get behind the wheel Drive like I’ve got nothing to lose. Run like the wind outta here Would I really do it, if I could choose? Is it my naivety or my foolish pride? Is it my silly dreams that gets me every time? Is it that draw of freedom That pulls me ever so far? But something keeps me here Some sort of ache in my heart—~. [bridge] No, I don’t think I’ll leave this place Not without you by my side Life wouldn’t be much of a life And a life without you Is a life I can’t compromise----- [Chorus] There’s nothing like the open road Nothing like that black ribbon of hope, To show you what you really want, The taste of freedom we all know. I wanna get behind the wheel Drive like I got nothing to lose. But I’ll be leaving something here Would I really do it, if I could choose? Is it my naivety or my foolish pride? Is it my silly dreams that gets me every time? Is it that draw of freedom That pulls me ever so far? But something keeps me here Some sort of ache in my heart—~ [instrumental outro]
