I see the open road
I hear it call my name
I hear the whistle blow
I want to jump that train
This place has held me down
I want to blow this town
Tonight we'll run away
I see the mountaintops
I want to scale each one
I'm gonna take my shot
I'm like a loaded gun
I'm young, I've just begun
Nothing can keep me down
Tonight we'll run away
I'm on my way
And it's all right before me
Don't care what they say
Leaving this all behind me
Let come what may
Nothing can stop me now
Tonight we'll run away
Mile marker 25
Is when the car broke down
Fell in and out of love
My heart's a lost and found
Bet big and busted out
I'm dusting off the ground
I miss my town today
Black eyes and busted dreams
The city never sleeps
Wide eyes don't pay the bills
This world, it plays for keeps
A ring, a wedding gown
I'm right back in this town
'Cause you all know my name
Can't have it all
That don't mean you can't be free
I've seen this whole wide world
And it ain't got nothin' on me
Maybe these dreams are just changing inside me
I'm content today
Two kids, a minivan
A long way from Hollywood
But I sing the songs I love
And walk the neighborhood
Roots help the tree grow tall
Who really has it all
I'm home and I'm home to stay
Can't have it all
That don't mean you can't be free
I've seen this whole wide world
And it ain't got nothing on me
Maybe these dreams are just changing inside me
I'm home and I'm home to stay
