Lyrics
My Guide
Verse One:
She'd never been out on her own
Never ventured far from home
But how she longed to see the world
To walk through doors she'd never known
So just after she turned eighteen
She left a note there by the phone
Pre-Chorus
Dear Mom and Dad,
I love you so
But I just gotta go
Chorus:
I wanna see the Oklahoma sky
Touch the Texas handle tide
I wanna walk along the Georgia Coast
I want my heart to be my guide
Verse Two:
She never let her hair hang loose
Never had the chance to choose
She only wanted freedom's hand
To take her places never seen
So just about a week had passed
Till she wrote back home at last
2nd Pre-Chorus:
Dear Mom and Dad,
I love you so
I just wanted you to know
Repeat Chorus (2X)
