A Midwest morning
October snowfall
She packed her Chevrolet
And she brushed the fear away
She?s got a great big dream
And a history of playing small
And everybody seems to think
She?ll be back before Christmas day
She hit that highway
With every ounce of faith she could summon
When courage finally comes
You never see it coming

Right outta nowhere
You open your heart
And that changes everything
You?re going somewhere
And all you need to know
Is that you?re free to go

A summer night
The soft smell of seashore
All the deadheads dancing
Out on the beach
He?s got a ten-year tan
And his own little junk store
He says, some people got a lot to prove
And that?s the way I used to be
Now I?m just an old hippie
With a half a dozen PhDs
Some choices hold you down
Some chances set you free

Right outta nowhere
You open your heart
And let go of everything
You?re going somewhere
And all you need to know
Is that you?re free to go

Dream and the way will be clear
Pray and the angels will hear
Leap and the net will appear

Right outta nowhere
You open your heart
And believe in everything
You?re going somewhere
And all you need to know
Is that you?re free
Right outta nowhere
You open your heart
And have faith in everything
You?re going somewhere
And all you need to know
Is that you?re free to go
