lyrics

Open Road Love Affair

Driving all alone on the open road and my car knows where to go.
The Mississippi glows like a one-night show as the visions begin to flow.
People twist like clouds through my mind,
Oh, why I say!
I hope that their smiles will never fade away.
My, my! I hope I never die.

Freedom through the lines of the sights I see and this is where I need to be.
The sky is dimming like a blind man’s vision ‘though he still sees better than me.
Breathing like a wanted man,
Oh, man! I say!
The road keeps twisting on and on today.
My, my! I hope I never die.

Misty morning drinking Mountain Dews as the highway bleeds in blue.
The radio is humming as I sing along and think of what’s left to do.
I guess I’ll just keep on driving on,
I say!
What I need to find I’ll find along the way.
My, my! I hope I never die.

Green grass swarms with Iowa corn as the sunlight hovers free.
Stopping at a diner there’s nothing finer than this waitress who talks to me.
I finish my coffee and leave my tip,
I say!
The waitress waves good-bye without delay.
My, my! I hope I never die.

Passing through Greenville on the way to somewhere as the rain begins to fall.
The water splashes with the speed of my heart as it guides me along the road.
Kankakee or Kalamazoo,
I say!
Where it ends it cannot be today.
My, my! I hope I never die.

The rain slows down without a frown as the wind begins to blow.
Time is time with no regrets living on the open road.
Who is left for me to see,
I say!
My car is free to lead me along the way.
My, my! I hope I never die.
