There is an open road
Just outside my door
Outside my comfort zone
Offering so much more
There is an old suitcase
Sitting on my floor
Filled with memories of better times
And such promising lies
I think I'll wait until the late night
Maybe then this car will take flight
Take me somewhere new
Take me somewhere far away from you
If not by the blanket of the night
Maybe I'll leave by morning light
A new start on a new day
Let the sun burn the Blue away
Bright skies and winding roads
Tell me which way to go, Scarecrow
Point me to somewhere new
Point me far away from you
Oh how those days can be so long
With all those people and all those happy songs
Maybe I'll wait till the sun's hanging low
And all the pretty stars start to show
When the light whispers to the dark
Some say it's a romantic spark
I'll speed away and leave all these romantics behind
The words are too hollow and a waste of time
I'll fill up on gas and coffee, maybe cigarettes
All players, lay down your bets
A wild card is blowing in the wind
One you may never see again
Blowing away to somewhere new
Blowing far away from you
It seems to me this game is stacked
It always seems I'm coming back
My car sits still, my suitcase on the floor
What the hell am I stalling for?
That road seems so long and hard
The unknown destination so far
Until I find somewhere new
I guess I'll just stay here with you
