Open Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let's light a flame to chase the night away
We'll light one more to waste the day
When waking up becomes a memory
Watch me forget as I sleep
Through all the ups and downs
The best advice I've found
If we don't leave this town
We'll never live it down
So what compels me to stay?
Well I gave up everything but that was yesterday
Now I'm back out on the open road
As this point of difference seems to fade away
Now I'm back out on the open road
It's not the place we used to know
Pushing forward as we're fighting back
Shadows of doubt in the night
Cause I've been searching for a remedy, a memory
or anything to make this right
So what compels me to stay?
'Cause I gave up everything but that was yesterday
Now I'm back out on the open road
As this point of difference seems to fade away
Now I'm back out on the open road
It's not the place we used to know
Well let these bridges burn
We wont be back again
Let them burn!
Now I'm back out on the open road
As this point of difference seems to fade away
Now I'm back out on the open road
As this point of difference seems to fade away
Now I'm back out on the open road
It's not the place we used to know
Let them burn!
