[00:00.00]We came to a halt in the snow
[00:03.58]Swerving on the wet slush below
[00:07.15]Just as well we did 'cos
[00:09.53]That lorry in front of us
[00:12.53]Was gonna tip over
[00:14.72]So we peeled off for a break
[00:18.34]Though we knew it meant we'd be late
[00:22.03]But we were alive and
[00:24.26]It felt pretty good to taste
[00:27.26]The strawberry milkshake
[00:31.04]And still we carried on
[00:37.37]Our entire lives upon
[00:40.62]The open road
[00:44.12]Guided on the asphalt by
[00:46.93]The traffic lines and burger signs
[00:51.15]'Til we're in the motel gone for the night
[00:55.54]Way out on the north golden coast
[01:00.85]Just as we were ready to go
[01:04.52]Bandits broke into the van
[01:10.70]And took all we had
[01:13.59]In the city we were stranded
[01:19.32]And still we
[01:24.91]Somehow rolled through
[01:29.08]Onto the next town
[01:32.68]Always somewhere new
[01:36.63]
[01:47.55]I've seen mountains pierce the sky
[01:53.08]Deserts frosted under ice
[02:01.47]But some days I just miss mum and dad
[02:08.97]Though I think it makes them happy
[02:15.87]I finally managed to see
[02:18.48]The open road
[02:22.66]
[02:25.59]'Til I'll make quite sure there's nowhere
[02:29.06]Left to get to know
[02:33.11]The open road
[02:40.84]The open road
[02:44.45]Will take me home someday
[02:50.82]
