WIDE OPEN ROAD
By Greg Hawks
Well, the day’s finally broke as the night’s fading notes
Drift away with the cool morning breeze
And the shadows move out with the lingering doubt
As the leaves start to fall from the trees
Sweet is the sound of the air blowing ’round
With the windows rolled down on this wide open road
The soft singing sound of my wheels bearing down
As I’m leaving this town, letting go
It’s been a long climb but at least now I find
That I’m far from where I used to be
And I don’t have to lie when I look in the eye
Of the man in the mirror I see
The lines on my face disappear like the trace
Of the space you once held in my mind
And these scars, they will fade as I’m shedding the weight
Of this place that I’m leaving behind
So sweet is the sound of the air blowing ’round
With the windows rolled down on this wide open road
The soft singing sound of my wheels bearing down
As I’m leaving this town, letting go
Well, the last things you said made me wish I was dead
And it messed with my head for a while
Now it’s all sorted out and what I found left no doubt
That this day was sure to arrive
So sweet is the sound of the air blowing ’round
With the windows rolled down on this wide open road
The soft singing sound of my wheels bearing down
As I’m leaving this town, letting go
