Lyrics:

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

The 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)

I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west

Pack the good and leave the rest

I'll 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 and I pretended that I

Didn't notice a little tear that fell when I said I was going



(Chorus)

I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west

Pack the good and leave and 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



(Tag)

I've worried about life and

If it's right and 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
