Open Road

Soon I'll be home Where the friends give hugs and the tracks don't skip like stones Give a hand To my folks Cause it takes all day to just get me to call on the phone And ooooh to be bold Sometime that's what what I want when I can't hold the weigh from my bones Wish I could zoom through the cold And just get back here next flight with a year full of growth And I guess it's all you God Don't let me get too far Don't let me get my shoes off You knew before the tunes dropped And really every day after And It's o o o open roads From coast to coast But this ones home That's all that I know Everybody old friends nowadays Something bout moving makes you feel like you go way back Now I'm on the phone with people I grew up with Feel like a stranger when they ask me where I stay at It's day trains and late planes and pay lanes Just to turn the thing around and bring it straight back It's confusing when you don't know what you're doing Guess we'll see it in the playback at least I gotta say that today We all outta town some distance away All homeward bound insisting to stay It'll be Christmas in days We'll forget what this weighs So just listen in case You get sick of the wait Meantime Hold it down for me Play the old school soul jams loud for me Hit the train southbound downtown for me Throw a mean soiree on the Balcony I heard time away though can be the best thing Imma hit y'all up text me next week Shoutout Dallas LA and SD Just stay blessed Peace And I guess it's all you God Don't let me get too far Don't let me get my shoes off You knew before the tunes dropped And really every day after And It's o o o open roads From coast to coast But this ones home That's all that I know --- Open Road - Paul Russell
