He rode off alone again, head resting on the glass
He escapes the world in his white caddy from the past
He’s running the lights ‘cause he’s run out of time
And now he needs a fix
He’s greeting the signs, he’s hugging the lines
And they calm him down real quick
He rode off away again you asked if he’d return
He told you he loved you when he knew you’d later learn
You’re out of his mind, you’re out of his life
And you’d best be moving on
And when you won’t know he’ll get up and go
‘Cause he craves life on the open road
He can’t break any hearts anymore
‘Cause he can’t promise he’ll stay very long
And he won’t feel all the pain in goodbyes
And he won’t taste all the joys in this life
So now he’s found a true friend in the stars
For now he’s traded true love for his car
And though he wishes he weren’t alone
He’s right at home on the open road
You make love for days or more before he packs his things
“So what are you living for?” you ask him as he leaves
You talk to the stars, you sing to your car
But who dreams of you at night?
He looks in your eyes, he paused for a while
Then he chose life on the open road
He can’t break any hearts anymore
‘Cause he can’t promise he’ll stay very long
And he won’t feel all the pain in goodbyes
And he won’t taste all the joys in this life
So now he’s found a true friend in the stars
For now he’s traded true love for his car
And though he wishes he weren’t alone
He’s right at home on the open road
He’s right at home on the open road
He’s right at home on the open road
