Never felt at home in my hometown Never felt right putting my roots down I feel like I’ve been living six feet down No I can’t seem to win for losing I only feel alive when I’m moving Let the highway catch the wind and carry me on to where I’ve never been If it’s got wheels If it’s got a pedal I can punch with the four on the floor Made of American steel Burning those tires down the road from here to the coast Got the radio on and you’re singing along This is how freedom feels If it’s got wheels I’m gone It all starts when you turn 16 You’re making memories in that back seat With that engine running you’re running free Now the years go by and the miles roll on Here I am still chasing that dawn Still chasing that feeling and chasing tomorrow till I find where I belong Cause if it’s got wheels If it’s got a pedal I can punch with the four on the floor Made of American steel Burning those tires down the road from here to the coast Got the radio on and you’re singing along This is how freedom feels If it’s got wheels baby I’m gone If it’s got wheels If it’s got a pedal I can punch with the four on the floor Made of American steel Burning those tires down the road from here to the coast Got the radio on and you’re singing along This is how freedom feels If it’s got wheels baby I’m gone

So you’re strong enough to make it on your own You say you’ll make up your mind you think you might be moving on Well you can stay awhile or you can go Go on and leave me cause I didn’t need you And I don’t need this so go on Don’t come running back when you see where you went wrong You say you miss all our laughs and you hate waking up alone Don’t say you miss our love cause it’s dead and gone So go on and leave me cause I didn’t need you And I don’t need this so go on Go on and leave me Go on and leave me So go on and leave me Said a “go on”, said a “go on”, said a “go on”, said a “go on”, said a “go on” yeah Cause I didn’t need you And I don’t need this so go on Go on and leave me cause I didn’t need you And I don’t need this so go on

They say we got plenty, plenty of time but I don’t want to slow it down I’ll be ok with whatever you say but I don’t want to slow it down We’re cruising in style down a miracle mile and I don’t want to slow it down You’ve got your hand on my heart and my head’s in the clouds And I don’t want to slow it down We could turn this around and not cross the line We could put on the brakes if you want But I can tell by your smile you’ve got other things on your mind And that you don’t want to slow it down We’re here at your door We’ve been here before and I don’t want to slow it down What’s that I hear you whispering in my ear That you don’t want to slow this down We could turn this around and not cross the line We could put on the brakes if you want But I can tell by your smile you’ve got other things on your mind And that you don’t want to slow it down That you don’t want to slow it down We could turn this around and not cross the line We could put on the brakes if you want But I can tell by your smile you’ve got other things on your mind And that you don’t want to slow it down We could turn this around and not cross the line We could put on the brakes if you want but I can tell by your smile you’ve Got other things on your mind and that you don’t want to slow it down That you don’t want to slow it down

Messy Love 03:03
Sometimes I have too much Some nights I can’t get enough of you and your familiar touch It just feels so right on me I’ve often looked for something new And you’ve thought of leaving too But straying far we never do ‘cause we know where we belong And ours is a messy love of blunder and desire The kind where you pray for hope and the kind you hope to find We try to fix the mess we made It’s fixed with messy love Love is a learning game and with time the lessons change But it’s heart remains the same Embrace your “other one” You and I we’ve had hard times and we’ve had our sweet, sweet highs Though we’re not the perfect kind our love burns a sweet perfume Ours is a messy love of blunder and desire The kind where you pray for hope and the kind you hope to find Yeah we try to fix the mess we made it’s fixed with messy… Yeah we try to fix the mess we made it’s fixed with messy love Yeah we try to fix the mess we made it’s fixed with messy love

You only live once so don’t waste your time standing in line Waiting for a sign to move your legs - to walk that mile Forget this town you’ve been here far too long These things will drag you down These things will drag you down These things will drag you down You only live once so don’t waste your love giving to those who won’t grasp its worth Yeah she’ll give you directions and he will make demands So much noise but the only voice you need to hear is your own These things will drag you down These things will drag you down These things will drag you down

True Love 03:26
True love why are you teasing me why won't you come around and get to pleasing me I want your tender kiss and your open arms Why won’t you start easing my lonely heart? She’s way out west working in the bars making her pay down on the boulevard She’s got her job and some better friends And some good times just no one to share them with True love why are you teasing me why won't you come around and get to pleasing me I want your tender kiss and your open arms Why won’t you start easing my lonely heart? He’s deep down south working in the bars making his pay with an old guitar The drums hit “two” and the band begins and the crowd sings along when the chorus kicks in True love why are you teasing me why won't you come around and get to pleasing me I want your tender kiss and your open arms Why won’t you start easing my lonely heart? If you know it won’t you sing along ‘Cause nobody wants to be alone True love why are you teasing me why won't you come around and get to pleasing me I want your tender kiss and your open arms Why won’t you start easing my lonely heart?

I’ve been used and abused for so long Never knowing just what I did wrong I’ve been held by some sweet loving arms But never like this before I’ve been someone to settle for less Never knowing no better I guess I have found other places for my heart to rest But never like this before Never like this before Never like this before Captured by a kiss Never, never like this have I been so hungry, so hungry for more I have wandered around to excess Leaving nothing to my name but a mess And yes there have been times when I’ve felt so blessed But never like this before Never like this before

Can you feel the thunder under, under my skin If I break through these walls I wonder what it’s gonna feel like to let you in I want to run down this road together and just maybe turn into forever Don’t you want to go, go, go down this road with me And don’t you want to know, know, know how good this love could be Let’s paint ourselves into a work of art Not shoot it down before it even starts ‘Cause I can’t take another blow to my heart I could lose all my addictions if that’s the way it had to be And I could stand to lose everything but I couldn’t take I couldn’t take you leaving me Let’s give this thing a shot C’mon baby lay it all on the line Give it what we got Don’t you want to go, go, go down this road with me And don’t you want to know, know, know how good this love could be Let’s paint ourselves into a work of art Not shoot it down before it even starts ‘Cause I can’t take another blow to my heart Don’t you want to go, go, go down this road with me And don’t you want to know, know, know how good this love could be Let’s paint ourselves into a work of art Not shoot it down before it even starts ‘Cause I can’t take another blow I can’t take another blow I can’t take another blow to my heart Can’t take another blow

From first glance my heart was taken Romance we started making We fell in love so fast no turning back Set out on a life together the unknown is ours We’re staying up all night laying under the starry lights Into the wild we ran Hearts racing we joined hands Singing ooh… yeah Who knows how this all will turn out Will we shine or will we burn out Whatever will be I know it’ll be you and me in this together So the story builds and tapers through the years and scenes fast forward We’ve been through ups and downs struggles with faith and doubt But for richer and for poorer we’ve held together in each others’ arms These trials make us strong Facing the wild we stand onward hand in hand Singing ooh… Who knows how this all will turn out Will we shine or will we burn out Whatever will be I know it’ll be you and me in this together What magic leads us on and keeps us falling back in love? Who knows how this all will turn out Will we shine or will we burn out Whatever will be I know it’ll be you and me in this together
