Lyrics
Title:Open Roads
Written by: Barry Thompson
Open roads
Just set me out
On the open roads
Freedom?s about
A short goodbye, a long hello open roads
Set me out, Let me shout
Open roads, Freedom?s about
A small door close, a big sky grows, open roads
Hey hey, Set me out
Hey hey, Freedom?s about
Long hellos, Open roads
Open roads, open oads
Hey Hey, open roads
open roads
Small door close, big sky grows, open roads
set me out, let me shout
Open roads, freedom's about
Long hellos, open roads
Open roads open roads
Open roads yeah yeah, open roads
