[Verse 1] Paid my dues in the morning Then I found the edge of town Headlights kissed the pavement As the strip malls faded out I got a map full of folds And a tank half full of dreams I let that old Ford hum Like it knew what freedom means [Pre-Chorus] Mile by mile, the night leans in Windows down, let the wind move through I don’t need a destination I just need one more bend with you [Chorus] Open road, carry me Open road, set me free Keep me rolling, keep me low Open road, open road Open road, carry me Past the miles that weigh on me If I’m lost, I’ll let it show Open road, open road [Verse 2] Stopped for gas in a nothing town Got a diner cup to go The waitress said, “You look like You got somewhere you don’t know” I laughed and tipped my change Then I watched that neon fade Some folks chase a finish line I just chase the break of day [Pre-Chorus] Mile by mile, the night leans in Windows down, let the wind move through I don’t need a destination I just need one more bend with you [Chorus] Open road, carry me Open road, set me free Keep me rolling, keep me low Open road, open road Open road, carry me Past the miles that weigh on me If I’m lost, I’ll let it show Open road, open road [Bridge] Let the moon sit on the hood Let the dark turn soft and blue I’ve been chasing different answers Now I’m letting them chase me too If the world wants what it wants It can wait till morning comes Tonight I’m just a woman And a highway under my thumb [Chorus] Open road, carry me Open road, set me free Keep me rolling, keep me low Open road, open road Open road, carry me Past the miles that weigh on me If I’m lost, I’ll let it show Open road, open road
