I bet this road will take me outta here, take me far away from AmarilloI bet this car will go real fast, the wheels might even drive me past places that you said I'd never goOh myThe Texas sky's the biggest one I've seen, but it still ain't big enough for you and meAll the things that make you mad and all the baggage in your past don't leave much room for a girl like me to beSo I'll fill her up with hope and worn out dreamsI'll *** the wheel and I'll put it west, pack my good and leave the rest, I'll thrive until I find the missing pieceYou said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart, but I got everything I'll ever needI got this old guitar and a brand new set of stringsMama said I never should have done it, should have ended us before we ever startedDaddy knew about my pride so he stood there and he smiled inside, I pretended that I didn't noticeA little tear that fell when I said I was goingI'll *** the wheel and I'll put it west, pack my good and leave the rest, I'll thrive until I find the missing pieceYou said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart, but I got everything I'll ever needI got this old guitar and a brand new set of stringsAnd 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 flyYou said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart, but I got everything I'll ever needI got this old guitar and a brand new set of stringsOhOh
