The Open Road (Highway Trance) Songtext
von Jimmy LaFave

Maybe, baby, I′m crazy
But I'm down on my knees
I want you to go
Come go with me please
This life you′re living, honey
You die day at a time
There's something that calls
Make up your mind
Baby, let's watch all the rivers flow
Baby, you gotta get young
Before you get old
Come on, come on
Lighten up your load
There ain′t nothin′
But you and me
And the open road
'Cause we were born to wander
We were not born to lose
I must follow distant thunder
Or I′ll get the blues


And the lightning that's flashing
Reveals a dream in your eyes
And the message it sends
Is hard to deny
Baby, let′s watch all the rivers flow
Baby, you gotta get young
Before you get old
Out in the distance
Let the four winds blow
There ain't nothin′
But you and me
And the open road
It's a highway trance
You've fallen under
Love forever
On a road that never ends
Border town in Dakota
Where the Missouri runs wide
We′ll cross the piggyback bridge
Reach the other side
Listen to the ghost dance
In the valley of gold
Where the ones who understand
Respect the buffalo
Baby, let′s watch all the rivers flow
Baby, you gotta get young
Before you get old
Come on, come on
Lighten up your load
There ain't nothin′
But you and me
And the open road
The open road
Goodbye, baby, I'm gone
