I sold my soul for the sound of the tires
Trading comfort for chaos, my only desire, You said I'd burn out, that I'd never stay
But my name's in the stars where the lost ones pray
So scream my name, let the echoes run, This town's not a cage, it's a loaded gun
I sold my soul to the open road, I live my life alone
No roots, no rules, just the stories I wrote, You won't find me in the same old scene
I'll burn the map and cut the strings, This town was the downfall of us all
But I'm alive where the wild things fall
The yellow lines are my heartbeat now, Each mile's a hymn to the life I've found
No neon signs, no safety nets, I'd rather break than live with regret
Justice, my witness, the night's my guide, In the roar of the cloud, there's nowhere to hide
I gave my best to this restless heart, And it's tearing the ordinary apart
Try not to miss me when I'm gone, This world is ours to drag along
I sold my soul to the open road, I live my life alone
No roots, no rules, just the stories I wrote, You won't find me in the same old scene
I'll burn the map and cut the strings, This town was the downfall of us all
But I'm alive where the wild things fall
Don't forget yourselves, We made up our minds
And signed three, four, five on that dotted line
They say we've sold out, but they've got it wrong
We're building a home in the heart of the song
Static crackles through the midnight air, I'm still standing, although no one's there
This is a goodbye, it's a rebel's refrain, We're the sparks that light the pouring rain
I sold my soul to the open road, I live my life alone
No roots, no rules, just the stories I wrote, You won't find me in the same old scene
I'll burn the map and cut the strings, This town was the downfall of us all
But I'm alive where the wild things fall
Let's go, the highway sings the only truth I know
The open road's the only home for me
