lyrics

I gotta get back out on that open road
where the time don't ask and the big wind blows
I could go on out on that long road
til the wheels come off or my heart's gone cold

I could hope for the best or drink til I shake
waitin' on you to come back someday
or I could go on out on the Great Plains
I could stick around or I can leave today

I just hope I got enough to get to Memphis
then I'll have enough to Baton Rouge
then I'll keep on riding west for Texas
hell, I haven't got a single thing to lose
what if my heart is weary now as it is restless?
I just hope I got enough to get to Memphis

I can forget the past and find someone else
I can push so hard but only time will tell
if that was just love that faded in a rearview mirror
I gotta step away to see a little more clear
I gotta step away to see the road, dear

or I can burn out and mean nothin to no one
I can say I tried when I was young
I can lie to myself, but I know the truth
is always gonna end up bleeding right through

I just hope I got enough to get to Memphis
then I'll have enough for Baton Rouge
I'll keep on riding west for Texas
hell, I haven't got a single thing to lose
what if my heart is weary now as it is restless?
I just hope I got enough to get to Memphis

I just hope I got enough to get to Memphis
then I'll have enough to Baton Rouge
then I'll keep on riding west for Texas
hell, I haven't got a single thing to lose
what if my heart is weary now as it is restless?
I just hope I got enough to get to Memphis
