You were scared as hell to take the highway
You barely knew how to drive
Your folks said to do it their way
But you had Nashville on your mind
In a town of all the dreamers
All the poets and the honky-tonk kings
You'll run into non-believers
Who will try to clip your wings
If you can hear me from where you are
Just know it's gonna get better
I hear the prayer that you pray
We'll finally find a way to fly away
We'll finally find a way to fly away
You'll almost make it on the first try
They'll play you on the radio
You'll even make it on to late night
But then watch it all go up in smoke
If you can hear me from where you are
Just know it's gonna get better
I hear the prayers that you pray
We'll finally find a way to fly away
We'll finally find a way to fly away
You'll make your way back to Nashville
Feel like you're lost in the weeds
Turns out to get to where you want it
You are all that you'll ever need
So if you can hear me from where you are
Just know it's gonna get better
I hear the prayer that you pray
We'll finally find a way to fly away
We'll finally find a way to fly away
