Just Give Me an Open Road
This is all happening at once. All these memories colliding in the back of my mind. This all happening too fast. I don't have time to sort things out in my head. You say you want to help, me to clear my mind. I know what I need, I just need to speed.


Just give me an open road. I'll ease my mind as my foot sinks down on the pedal. Just give me an open road. I'll crack the window and let the air dry my tears. Just give me an open road. Just let me drive and I'll be fine. Just give me an open road and I know I'll find the cure for what's ailing me. Just give me an open road, I promise that's all I need.

It hurts sometimes to remember. So many happy times that I miss. Sometimes it hurts to remember. I see how dumb I was and I get pissed because I was so naive, I was so blind, I just need to clear my mind.

Just give me an open road. I'll ease my mind as my foot sinks down on the pedal. Just give me an open road. I'll crack the window and let the air dry my tears. Just give me an open road. Just let me drive and I'll be fine. Just give me an open road and I know I'll find the cure for what's ailing me. Just give me an open road, I promise that's all I need.

I can't ease my mind by walking, these place is alien to me. I ease my mind by writing, it just brings back those memories. I can't ease my mind by sitting here, moping, wishing I had a beer. I can't ease my mind unless I find the cure I know I need.

Just give me an open road. I'll ease my mind as my foot sinks down on the pedal. Just give me an open road. I'll crack the window and let the air dry my tears. Just give me an open road. Just let me drive and I'll be fine. Just give me an open road and I know I'll find the cure for what's ailing me. Just give me an open road, I promise that's all I need.

My foot begins to sink, and I cease to think about everything that's been on my mind. I turn the speakers up, roll the windows down, the cool air rushing by my face lets me know I'll be alright. I swerve into the outside lane. I grip the wheel with my hand I just don't give a damn. My heart I pour out, to the pur of my engine and as I hit 95, I know everything is alright.

Just give me an open road. I'll ease my mind as my foot sinks down on the pedal. Just give me an open road. I'll crack the widnow and let the air dry my tears. Just give me an open raod. Just let me drive and I'll be fine. Just give me an open road and I know I'll find the cure for what's ailing me. Just give me an open road, I promise that's all I need.
