Lyrics
Where did we go wrong?
You always knew me so well
Like the perfect song
Living here inside my head
I think it's time for a change
Of scenery or something
I hear the open road
It's calling me, calling my name
I a need long drive
I a need fresh start
I a need a goodbye
I a need a warm heart
Funny how things change
You've got it all figured out
Then it's all rearranged
I've been thinking about the past
And how they say that the good things
Just never last
But I swear that I can feel
Things are looking up when I'm behind the wheel
I'll leave the past behind
Who knows what the road will bring
Who know what I will find
I a need long drive
I a need fresh start
I a need a goodbye
I a need a warm heart
No, I'm not escaping
No I'm not running away
No I'm not just fooling
Myself and no, there's no one to blame
I a need long drive
I a need fresh start
I a need a goodbye
I a need a warm heart
I need an open road
That leads to nowhere
I need a big sky
I need some fresh air
