The Open Road

The Open Road
　
　
I want to leave and to never return
Spin those tires and make em burn
　
Head out on the open highway
From now on things are gonna go my way
　
I’ve grown far too tired to sleep
My promises to you I can no longer keep
　
The bitter arguing has come to its end
Left far too many broken fences to mend
　
This game of tug of war I can no longer play
I’ll take to the road with the dawning of a new day
　
I’m scared but I will be alright
Watch me disappear into thee night
　
I’ll leave you standing in my cloud of dust
Let our relationship simply turn to rust
　
Fell an undying need to be free
I’ll take to the open road see where it takes me
　
My burdens weigh me down like heavy chains
Tried so hard but it was all in vain
　
My destination is not yet clear
Just know I wanna be miles from here
　
My heart is restless and I want to roam
I’ll find a place to call my home
