I bet this road will take me outta 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 my
The Texas sky's 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
I'll *** the wheel and I'll put it west, pack my good and leave the rest, I'll thrive 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, 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
I'll *** the wheel and I'll put it west, pack my good and leave the rest, I'll thrive 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
And I've worried about life and if it's arrived 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
Oh
Oh
