(Verse 1)
I like traveling
I love seeing sights
Darkness unraveling
Underneath big city lights
Going down the open road
Traffic's fast
When it starts to slow
I shift in to the passing lane
'Cause all I want to do is go...
Down the open road
(Chorus)
All I really need
Is to feel my wheels picking up speed
Taking me where I want to be
Down the open road
(Verse 2)
Portland, Oregon
Portland, Maine
Criss-crossing the country
Burning tanks of high octane
Going down the open road
I've turned corners
But I've never turned back
Yeah me, I'm just a refugee
From someone else's cul-de-sac
Going down the open road
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Going down the open road
(Verse 3)
Sacred time
Sacred place
Leaving behind
Every reminder, every trace
Going down the open road
Asphalt jungle
Asphalt church
Like some crusader
Nearing the end of my search
Going down the open road
(Repeat chorus)
(Ending)
Going down the open road
Down the open road
Going down the open road
