I bet this road will take me out of here Take me far away from Amarillo I bet this car will go real fast The wheels might even drive me past The places that you said I'd never go Oh The Texas sky is the biggest one I've seen But it still ain't big enough for you and me All the things that make you mad, All the baggage in your past Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be So I'll fill her up with hope and worn-out dreams And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west Pack the good and leave the rest I'll drive until I find the missing piece You said I wouldn't get to far on a tank of gas and an empty heart But I got everything I'll ever need I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings Mama said I never should have done it I should have ended us before we ever started Daddy knew about my pride so he stood there and he smiled inside, I pretended that I didn't notice A little tear that fell when I said I was going And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west Pack the good and leave the rest And drive until I find the missing piece You said I wouldn't get to far on a tank of gas and an empty heart But I got everything I'll ever need I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings I've worried about life and if it's right and right on time I guess if you don't jump you'll never know if you can fly You said I wouldn't get to far on a tank of gas and an empty heart But I got everything I'll ever need I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings
