I'm travellin' down the road in a bad mood freewheelin'
The highway signs and lights pass by like the thoughts that I'm avoidin'
The radio is on playin' songs about cheatin' and stealin'
I'm searching for a way to fix all the things I've been destroyin'
When the cold wind blows from the mountains it feels so good
And when a hard rain hits the highway it cleans my soul
I'm gonna tear through every county like a bullet through wood
Ain't got no destination ain't got no goal
I've been in one place too long think it's time to be gone
I'd like to believe things are better and finally on the mend
I'm not sure who I got in my life that I can count on
But the open road has always been a friend
Rollin' down this road I can't pay the debts I owe
I can't fix the things I broke can't dig up the seeds I sewed
But for a little while I can leave it all behind
On the open road I feel just fine
Freewheelin'
Freewheelin'
Freewheelin'
Open up the window and breathe in the air
Because when alcohol and pills don't work the highway heals
Well I guess no one ever said life was easy or it was fair
I'll just take it as it comes on these rollin' rubber wheels
I've been in one place too long think it's time to be gone
I'd like to believe things are better and finally on the mend
I'm not sure who I got in my life that I can count on
But the open road has always been a friend
The open road has always been a friend
