I  bet this road will take me out of here
Take  me far away from Amarillo
I  bet this car will  go real fast
The  wheels might even drive me past
The  places that you said  I'd never  go, oh
 The Texas sky is the biggest one I've ever seen
 But it still ain't big enough for you and me
 All the things that make you mad
 All the baggage in your past
 Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be
So,  I'll fill her up with hope  and worn out  dreams
I'll  grab the wheel and I'll point it west
Pack  the good and leave the rest
Drive  until I find the missing piece
You  said I wouldn't get too far on a tank  of gas
 And an empty heart
But  I got everything I'll ever need
 I got this old  guitar and a brand  new set of strings
 Mama said, I never should've done it
 I should have ended us before we ever started
 Daddy knew about my pride so he stood there
 And he smiled inside and I pretended that I
 Didn't notice a little tear that fell when I said, I was going
I've  worried about life and
If  it's right and right in time
I  guess if you don't ever jump
You'll  never know if you can fly
