Tonight I feel ambitious and so does my foot As it sinks on the pedal, I press it to the floor I don't need a girl, don't need a friend 'Cause my friend lonesome's unconditional We're flying forever bored And for a moment, I love everything That I see and think and feel I love my broken side view mirror 'Cause it's so perfect, I'm so perfect You're so perfect, you're not here I hear the change in gears My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road This is an open road song The night is beckoning although I have nowhere to go but home Feels good to be alone With every turn comes a new frame of mind if I could frame my mind Where would it hang? My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road This is an open road song I crack a window and feel the cool air cleanse my every pore As I pour my poor heart out To a radio song that's patient and willing to listen My volume drowns it out But that's ok 'Cause I sound better than him Anyway, any day, yeah My voice is sweet as salt I search for comfort and I find it Where I've found it many times before Times before can be forgotten My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road This is an open road song
