[Verse 1]
I hear your voice
I hear it in the howling of the wolves
And your eyes
I catch 'em in the color of the pines
You're a smoke from fire
Rolling through the plains
My eyes, they're tired
But I think I see your face, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
The real horror of it all
Is letting you go

[Chorus]
But if I fall in love with the open road
Count my blessings in the hope
I'll live and die in the horizon line and find
I'll fall in love with the open road
Forget your body and sell my soul
'Cause where I'm going, even God won't know

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
A million miles (A million miles)
In between me and what's behind
But in the dark (In the dark)
Dancing in the passing lights of cars
Your shape in shadow
Calling from the rain
"Please stay, no, don't go
And don't you forgive my face, no"

[Pre-Chorus]
The real horror of it all
Is letting you go

[Chorus]
Thought if I fall in love with the open road
Count my blessings in the hope
I'll live and die in the horizon line and find
I'll fall in love with the open road
Forget your body and sell my soul
'Cause where I'm going, even God won't know
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, the open road

[Drop]
The open road
The open road

[Outro]
If I fall in love with the open road
Count my blessings in the hope
I'll live and die in the horizon line and find
I'll fall in love with the open road
Forget your body and sell my soul
'Cause where I'm going, even God won't know
