Mind not open,
Mind not open,
I was in another world,
Mind not open,
Mind not open,
I was dreaming of a girl,
And all I ever wanted was one,
And all I ever wanted was to run,
And all I ever needed to worship was the sun.

You were over there,
And I needed to be,
As close to something,
That looks like you and me,
That looks like you and me,
Those yellow falling leaves.

That I recall,
They're going south for the winter,
Leaving it all,
With you my life’s just better,
Ohhhh.

You would sit across,
That dusty hall,
And I asked myself some questions,
Can I fly or will I fall,
Can I fly or will I fall,
Can I be with you at all?

And I recall,
Your breath in the cold dark winter,
Leaving it all,
With you my life’s gets better,
Ohhhh.

Now we know this feeling we won't ever let it go,
Now we know this feeling we won't ever let it go,
Give me all you've got,
Give me all you've got,
Give me all you've got,
Give me all you've got.

Lately, I've been doing some thinking,
Trying to work out what went wrong,
Seems to me I’ve been putting up with you for way too long,
So I'm picking up and moving on.
I’m hitting the road,
Out on my own,
Deleting your number from my phone,
Gonna learn to be happy,
Just like I used to be,
Before I let you bring me down,
No more excuses,
Or needing to prove that,
I’m good enough as I am,
I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,
Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.

I can't believe it took me so long,
Just to see the hold you had on me,
But now it’s like I can breathe,
Nobody to answer to but me,
And that’s how it’s meant to be,
Finally doing’ this, finally free!
I’m hitting the road,
Out on my own,
Deleting your number from my phone,
Gonna learn to be happy,
Just like I used to be,
Before I let you bring me down,
No more excuses,
Or needing to prove that,
I’m good enough as I am,
I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,
Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.

Hot sun, lazy days,
Day dreamin’ in the summer haze,
Slowin’ down and losing track of time.

Warm nights an ice cold beer,
Nothing but the crickets singing in my ear,
It feels good to be back home again.

It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,
Just two kids falling in love,
Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,
It was all so long ago,
But there’s no place quite like home.

Married now, with a couple a kids,
Oh time flies but that’s the way it is,
Where did those 25 years go?

Sometimes going back,
Is the only way to keep your present day on track,
You need to see how far you've come.

It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,
Just two kids falling in love,
Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,

Every time you look my way,
I get a feeling there'll be hell to pay,
If I let you in, you're gonna let me down.
Your reputation leaves a lot to be desired,
You've got the devil in your eyes.

But when you come knocking,
There’s just no stopping my heart from letting you in,
I can't control it, and I hate that you know it,
You've really gotten under my skin,
Oh, I should ignore you, oh, I should see right through you,
But it’s like you've got me under your spell,
I need to turn around before you lead me down,
A one way street to hell.

When I think I'm doing fine,
You got a habit of crossing my mind,
Like a movie on repeat.
Everything about you tells me you're no good,
I need to walk away, oh, I know I should.

But when you come knocking,
There’s just no stopping my heart from letting you in,
I can't control it, and I hate that you know it,
You've really gotten under my skin,
Oh, I should ignore you, oh, I should see right through you,
But it’s like you've got me under your spell,
I need to turn around before you lead me down,
A one way street to hell.

You're gonna bring me down,
You're gonna bring me down.
