lyrics

Out on the open road
Miles from anywhere
Running away
Trying not to be scared

Never thought it would come to this
I know we missed our chance
Running on a dream
And a half a tank of gas

Out on the open road
Not well prepared [headed no where]
Running away
On a wing and a prayer

Never dreamed it would come to this
Waiting for a chance
To run ahead full steam
On a half a tank of gas

I’m not sure where to go
I’m not sure what to say
Don’t have it figured out
Guess I find my way

Out on the open road
Miles from anywhere
Running out of dreams
I wish [wishing] you were here

I guess I knew it would come to this
I know we missed our chance
Still running away
With half a tank of gas

Running away
With half a tank of gas

Running away
Running out of gas
