Intro:   x2

                                       
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
                                
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 and 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
CHORUS
         
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 too 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
                                               
The little tear that fell when I said I was going
REPEAT CHORUS
                                     
I've worried about life and if it's arriving right on time
                                      
I guess if you don't jump you'll never know if you can fly
                                    
You said I wouldn't get too 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
  & fade out

Enjoy!!
