Open Road Songtext
The sky is as wide as the smile on a waitress
At a late night roadside cafe outside of Pecos
Texas, where the west is all that's left
For the restless soul
Neon shining motel sign inviting me inside to rest my bones

And I can feel the wind
Blowing against my skin
How long has it been?
I don't know
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel

I don't have the time to close my eyes and sleep 'til morning
I got Austin in my rear view
And I'm bound for California
I heard Cold Dog Soup in Houston
And I'll be damned
If I wasn't hummin' Dublin Blues at sunrise just outside of Monahans

It's the sound of a violin
As the stars start to settle in
How long has it been?
I don't know
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel


And I can feel the winds
Blowing against my skin
How long has it been?
I don't know
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel
On the open road
