[Verse 1] Tank on half, but I’m full of grin Old truck humming, let the day begin Tailgate down and the map folded wrong Sun on the hood, and a sing-along You got your boots, I got my beat Two good hearts and a stretch of street [Pre-Chorus] If the town tries to hold us tight We roll out laughing into the night Hands on the wheel, let the wild wind know We were born for the long way home [Chorus] Take me down that open road Take me where the tall grass grows You and me, we light the load Let it spin, let it go Open road, open road (open road) We keep time with our souls Open road, open road Tonight we ride, tonight we roll [Verse 2] Coffee in a paper cup, dust on the dash County line gone in a careless flash We got a cooler, a chorus, and a little gas left Every bend feels like a fresh new test Your laugh hits hard when the pavement bends Mine finds yours, and the whole thing trends [Pre-Chorus] If the town tries to call us back We just wave at the railroad track Two voices high, one steady low We were born for the long way home [Chorus] Take me down that open road Take me where the tall grass grows You and me, we light the load Let it spin, let it go Open road, open road (open road) We keep time with our souls Open road, open road Tonight we ride, tonight we roll [Bridge] Brake lights fade in a rearview frame Every goodbye sounds a little the same But we got miles and a sky so wide And a song that rides right by our side So sing it out when the blacktop bends Ain’t no rush where the river ends [Final Chorus] Take me down that open road Take me where the tall grass grows You and me, we light the load Let it spin, let it go Open road, open road (open road) We keep time with our souls Open road, open road Tonight we ride, tonight we roll
