I'd almost forgot about this one.... It was partially finished when a new song required my full attention and then something else came along and ...well, it kinda got forgotten along with I wasn't really happy with the way it was going.....But, I decided to put a few pieces into the puzzle and call it done.

A road trip song that's also a love song....

Lyrics:

OPEN ROAD

[Verse]
Riding down the highway Wind in my hair
Pedal to the metal Not a single care
Got my favorite song playing on the stereo
Gonna hit the road Let my worries go

[Verse]
Windows rolled down Sun shining bright
Feeling the freedom It's an endless flight
Miles and miles of open highway to explore
With every turn a new adventure's in store

[Chorus]
On this open road We're gonna ride
With the wind as our guide We'll reach for the sky
No destination Just the journey we're on
In this moment All our troubles are gone

[Verse]
Stopping where the sidewalk ends we've got time to spend.
Meeting lots of people and making new friends
Watching sunsets fade to dark we're making memories again.
Every mile we travel Brings us closer to our dreams

[Verse]
Singing along to the radio The music fills the air
Towns drift by under a clear blue sky without a care
Come tomorrow, we can see what's around that bend.
As we go down this road we hope it doesn't end.

[Chorus]
On this open road Yeah We're gonna ride
With the wind as our guide We'll reach for the sky
No destination Just the journey we're on
In this moment All our troubles are gone

Guitar solo

In this moment All our troubles are gone
