[Verse 1] Morning sun is risin’, paintin’ gold on every door, Same old little shoreline I’ve been dreamin’ to explore. People say I’m restless, always lookin’ out to sea, But the wind keeps whisperin’, “There’s a world you’ve gotta meet.” [Chorus] So I’m packin’ up my suitcase, followin' the breeze, Gonna chase the places I’ve been seein’ in my dreams. Oh, this quiet town was sweet, but it’s time for me to go, I’m a wanderin’ soul, and I need the open road. [Verse 2] Mama left a letter sayin’, “Find what makes you shine,” Papa played his old guitar, said, “The world will treat you fine.” I took a final look at all the boats along the shore, Then I stepped onto the train, I won’t be the same no more. [Chorus] So I’m packin’ up my suitcase, followin' the breeze, Gonna chase the places I’ve been seein’ in my dreams. Oh, this quiet town was sweet, but it’s time for me to go, I’m a wanderin’ soul, and I need the open road. [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll return with stories in my hands, Of mountain winds and city lights and far-off desert sands. But now the world is callin’ and I’ve got to let it show— There’s freedom in the leaving, and it’s time for me to go. [Final Chorus] So I’m packin’ up my suitcase, followin' the breeze, Gonna chase the places I’ve been seein’ in my dreams. Oh, this quiet town was sweet, but it’s time for me to grow, I’m a wanderin’ soul, and I need the open road.
