The Road

I wanna buy gas at every road stop
i wanna eat all the apple pie
I'm gonna pass all the trucks like they're standing still
and never slow down to say goodbye
I'm gonna drive like a demon in the midnight
i'm gonna shake and swerve on every curve
I'm gonna drive as fast as I need to fly
way up high like a bird
The sunshine will be my tomorrow
when the road is perfectly clear
and everything i need is setting me free
I'll know the road is where I'm meant to be
The broken white lines are all endless
my tires are singing for all their worth
my headlights see nothing but the road before me
while my radio is screaming the last verse
But most of all the road is a memory
a speed and a distance combined
into one long trip called destiny
where the ending is never painted on a sign
The sunshine will be my tomorrow
when the road is perfectly clear
and everything I need is setting me free
I'll know the road is where I'm meant to be.
