Lyrics
"Roadtrip"
Words & Music By James Coffey & Ross Bercot
(Verse 1)
Left my home and Left my friends.
It's not likely I'll be there again.
Left those things like cable TV,
All they did was take away a part of me.
(Verse 2)
Under the stars and the broad daylight,
Here in the car it feels just right.
Sometimes my heart says "No, no, no,"
But listen to that engine say "Go! Go! Go!"
(Bridge)
I thought I knew a thing or two about living
But everything I thought I knew was wrong
Look around, outside at the world that surrounds you
Its time to get on the road and say so long
(Chorus)
I'm on the open road again
Don't know if I'll be back
A brand new life around the bend
I don't know where I'm goin'
I listen to the road it is my friend
(Verse 3)
Being on my own is hard to conceive
Seems I'll have to trust and believe
That everything and everyone will be all right
Keep traveling all day and all through the night
