English Translation
Big wide road, the one I’m meant to take
Peace of mind won’t keep me on the run
In the open sky, you flee or fly, I’ll find my own
You remind me I’ll feel unknown, I know
Peace of mind won’t keep me on the run
In the open sky, you flee or fly, I’ll find my own
You remind me I’ll feel unknown, I know
You want my history
That’s the thing, you won’t let go
Oh you’re worried, but I’m not
Imma take the long road
That’s the thing, you won’t let go
Oh you’re worried, but I’m not
Imma take the long road
What to do, I’ll just drive, all night
Headlights, ain’t that bright
Such a blur but I just drive, all night
That’s life
‘Til the lights are gone
Headlights, ain’t that bright
Such a blur but I just drive, all night
That’s life
‘Til the lights are gone
Small town roads
These streets don’t have no names
Take my own if you ain’t keepin’ me sane
These streets don’t have no names
Take my own if you ain’t keepin’ me sane
You want my history
That’s the thing, you won’t let go
Oh you’re worried, but I’m not
Imma take the long road
That’s the thing, you won’t let go
Oh you’re worried, but I’m not
Imma take the long road
What to do, I’ll just drive, all night
Headlights, ain’t that bright
Such a blur but I just drive, all night
That’s life
‘Til the lights are gone
Headlights, ain’t that bright
Such a blur but I just drive, all night
That’s life
‘Til the lights are gone
Don’t wanna wait all day
I don’t care what it takes wanna hear you say
I’m gonna be okay
Bouta pour another glass for the good old days
Hold on for god’s sake
I don’t care what it takes wanna hear you say
I’m gonna be okay
Bouta pour another glass for the good old days
Hold on for god’s sake
If you’re looking for me then you better pray
Lonesome in a maze
And I’m stomping to the rhythm
’til you walk my way
Lonesome in a maze
And I’m stomping to the rhythm
’til you walk my way
Let’em know I’m not going back
But if you wanna follow,
you know how to find me
But if you wanna follow,
you know how to find me
