Open Road Heart

I left my shadow at the edge of town

With a coffee cup and the windows down

Miles ahead and a sky so wide

I learned to breathe where the highway lied

Dust on the dashboard, sun on the hood

Every goodbye felt more bad than good

The further I wrote, the more I see

What I lost was never all of me

Take me where the pavement turns to gold

Where the night wind sings and the stories unfold

We're bruised, we're bruised, we're not done yet

Still chasing the light that we ain't found yet

Oh, sing it loud, let the whole world know

We're a little worn out, but we're ready to go

The radio up and the stars in sight

We'll learn how to love the long way home tonight

Now the fields lean green, the river runs slow

Like a memory I was meant to know

Keep the ache, but I let it change

There's something strong in the widening range

Take me where the pavement turns to gold

Where the night wind sings and the stories unfold

We're bruised, we're bright, we're not done yet

Still chasing the light that we ain't found yet

Oh, sing it loud, let the whole world know

We're a little worn out, but we're ready to go

With the radio up and the stars in sight

We're learning how to love the long way home tonight

The road gets cold, the map runs thin

I'll keep the fire where I've always been

And when the dark tries to make me stay

I'll turn my face to the breakin' day

Take me where the pavement turns to gold

Where the night wind sings and the stories unfold

We're booze, we're bright, we're not done yet

Still chasin' the light that we ain't found yet

Oh, sing it loud, let the whole world know

We're a little worn out, but we're ready to go

The rayo up and the stars in sight

We're learning how to love the long way home tonight
