Goodbye to the life, I need to flee
Heartfelt farewell to beautiful family
I'll call every night and see you again,
I need to do this before my time ends
[Chorus]
Once a dream in youth's embrace
An open road, my heart's own space
Revvin', revvin'
On this journey, I embark
[Verse]
Once a dream in youth's embrace
An open road, my heart's own space
Time slipped by, the dream on hold
But now I ride, so brave, so bold
The moon rides high on desert skies
As the throttle echoes, my spirit flies
Through the winding desert, and the green hill's calls
I chase the horizon where the ocean falls
[Verse 2]
Tales of the road written under stars
By the campfire's light, healing old scars
Rollin' east, the full moon's my guide
Across the desert where wild spirits hide
Feelin' alive, more than I've ever known
This open road, it's now my home
[Chorus]
On this metal steed I soar
To distant shores and so much more
[Solo]
Through the mountains pass, where eagles dare to fly
Takin' chances while I still breathe the sky
The southern coast, it calls just like a siren’s song
Melodies of freedom, this is where I belong
[Verse 3]
Underneath a dusty veil of southern stars
With every mile, I’m healing all these scars
A silent voice always called me east
And now I meet it on my beast
[Verse]
Once a dream in youth's embrace
An open road, my heart's own space
Through all the years that I have seen
These eastern lands they haunt my dreams
Through the twists and turns 'neath the crimson sky
A man and his wheels, just him and the night
He's bidding farewell but not with a sigh
For the freedom’s in the air, with the moon shining bright
[Drop]
I'm glad I have made this leap
before I have my final sleep
Life's a journey
and this is mine
[Verse]
And now I lay me down to sleep,
And give the land my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake
I give the road my soul to take
Once a dream in youth's embrace
An open road, my heart's own space
Time slipped by, the dream on hold
But now I ride, so brave, so bold
Now I cruise (cruise), with the dawn on my back
Chasing sunrise, on this newfound track
The roads unfold, like the years that have passed
Living the dream that in youth, I had cast
Chorus:
So ride on, ride through the echoes of time
Reclaiming this life that's all mine.
