You could make a happy ever after with all the love I've thrown away
|
You could make some golden tomorrow with everything I left today
|
You could make a mountain of excuses, find me any reason to stay
|
But it's too late for making offers, too late for anything that anyone might say
|
|
Cause I got open road ahead of me
|
And it goes as far as I can see
|
|
(same as verse 1)
|
Once you had everything to teach me, once I had everything to learn
|
Now you can stand beside me one more time and watch these pretty bridges burn
|
And then you can take the high road way up there where everything's so clear
|
And I will keep wandering around these back alleyways
|
I will try to find my own way out of here, try to find that
|
|
Open road ahead of me
|
Cause it goes as far as I can see
|
And if the truth be told I'd live my life that way
|
With an open road, nothing to hold, and nothing standing in my way
|
|
And I will leave this sweet New England, I will leave these ghosts of you
|
I will climb onto that train, find a seat that's got no view
|
And I will take what I need with me, I will not take what I don't
|
And I will say that I'll be back here but I'll know that I won't
|
And I will live with empty pockets, I will live with empty sleeves
|
And I will know that there is nothing in this world I cannot leave
|
And I will tell my friends I love them, I will just hope that they know
|
That I need nobody beside me on this open road
|
|
You could make a happy ever after
|
