Lyrics

Verse 1
The Sun is setting in that western sky
Got the radio playin' on preset five
I ain't goin' back
I'm cruising on to San Antone
Verse 2
Everything that I own packed as tight as I can
Took his last 40 bucks from his bedside stand
He won't hurt me no more
I'm cruising on to San Antone
Chorus 1
I got the open road ahead of me
Wind in my sails and the chance to be free
With the good Lords wiling I'm never lookin' back
I finally feel that I'm on the right track
The weight has lifted and I'm feeling strong
Got a smile on my face as I sing this song
I'm going home, home to San Antone

Verse 3
I left my broken heart on that county line
He's done me wrong for the very last time
I've made up my mind
San Antone I'm coming home


Verse 4
Got seven more miles to that city limit sign
Mom and dad said it will be just fine
To stay a while

San Antone I'm almost home
Chorus 2
I got the open road ahead of me
Wind in my sails and the chance to be free
With the good Lords wiling I'm never lookin' back
I finally feel that I'm on the right track
The weight has lifted and I'm feeling strong
Got a smile on my face as I sing this song
I'm going home, home to San Antone
I'm going home, home to San Antone
