Nose to the grindstone - Just make it to the end of the week
Work don't define me - I am who I am when I'm free
Don't need no reservation - just pack my bags and something to eat
Don't need no conversation - loud speakers and my favorite cd's
Up until now is what I do to survive - but now I start feeling alive
Leave it all behind got my hands on the wheel - the tires below me starting to squeal
Blue skies and a wide open highway
Full tank of gas and the breeze in my hair
Leave behind my Monday to Friday
Open Highway gonna take me there
Hey Yeah, ooh yeah
Open Highway gonna take me there
Hey Yeah, ooh yeah
Open Highway gonna take me there
Eyes on the horizon - forget about whatever has been
Blowing through the mileposts - watch them fall again and again
Don't have no destination - forget about a where or a when
Don't have no obligations - a free bird floating high on the wind
It's like I'm moving at the speed of sound - my feet never touching the ground
The world just opens up like a big ol' grin -and here I am driving right in!
Blue skies and a wide open highway
Full tank of gas and the breeze in my hair
Leave behind my Monday to Fridays
Open Highway gonna take me there
Hey Yeah, ooh yeah
Open Highway gonna take me there
Hey Yeah, ooh yeah
Open Highway gonna take me there
Keep those one way, detouring, rubber necking road blocks, far away from me
Toll booths, stop signs, speed bumps and red lights, please just let me be
Just give me
Blue skies and a wide open highway
Full tank of gas and the breeze in my hair
Leave behind my Monday to Friday
Open Highway gonna take me there
Hey Yeah, ooh yeah
Open Highway gonna take me there
Hey Yeah, ooh yeah
Open Highway gonna take me there
Open Highway gonna take me there
Open Highway gonna take me there
