lyrics

I’m all packed up and I’m ready to ride,
Nowhere to go, nothing in mind.
But I’ve been spending all of my time,
Thinking ‘bout the open road.

I don’t look back ‘till I’ve crossed the boarder.
Then I slow down, onto the shoulder.
Map says I’m a short drive from nowhere.
So that’s where I’m gonna go.

There’s a dirt road waiting, a sunset fading,
And down by the river there’s a band that’s playing.
Playing something slow.
There’s a time for staying, and a time for straying,
From the path that we have taken,
So go find your dirt road waiting.

You know those cities just ain’t for me.
They’re too much like galleries.
Everybody’s looking, but nobody sees,
With too much hung on the wall.

I want real and I want true,
Dirt on my hands, mud on my shoes.
Gonna get out of town, take in the view,
Listen when freedom calls.

There’s a dirt road waiting, a sunset fading,
And down by the river there’s a band that’s playing.
Playing something slow.
There’s a time for staying, and a time for straying,
From the path that we have taken,
So go find your dirt road waiting.

Gonna find some lost adventure,
Drive like it’s now or never,
Before I change my mind.

Don’t know when I’ll find it,
It’s all in the timing.
All I’ve gotta do is ride.

There’s a dirt road waiting, a sunset fading,
And down by the river there’s a band that’s playing.
Playing something slow.
There’s a time for staying, and a time for straying,
From the path that we have taken,
It’s in your control.

There’s a dirt road waiting, a sunset fading,
And down by the river there’s a band that’s playing.
Playing something slow.
There’s a time for staying, and a time for straying,
From the path that we have taken,
So go find your dirt road waiting.
