Drew Kennedy Open Road Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sky is as wide as the smile on a waitress
At a late night roadside cafe outside of Pecos
Texas, where the west is all that's left
For the restless soul
Neon shining motel sign inviting me inside to rest my bones

[Chorus]
And I can feel the wind
Blowing against my skin
How long has it been?
I don't know
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel

[Verse 2]
I don't have the time to close my eyes and sleep 'til morning
I got Austin in my rear view
And I'm bound for California
I heard Cold Dog Soup in Houston And I'll be damned
If I wasn't hummin' Dublin Blues at sunrise just outside of Monahans

[Chorus]
It's the sound of a violin
As the stars start to settle in
How long has it been?
I don't know
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
And I can feel the winds
Blowing against my skin
How long has it been?
I don't know
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel
Since I've felt alive behind the wheel
On the open road
