I come from that kind of town where everyone know's your name
They lay you down in that dirt that you were born in
The one thing you can count on is that everything stays the same
Sure as the magnolias blooming in the morning

I'd like to believe 
I'm still that naive 
When I cross over the county line

So don't tell me it's all been done
And that the best ain't yet to come
My story's out there still untold
Out on this open road

I've been careful what I wish for, kept it all inside
It's almost like I never had a choice
But I was lucky enough along the way to keep my hope alive
And put my faith into that little voice

I might lose my nerve
I might take a wrong turn
But I'll get there my own way

So don't tell me it's all been done
And that the best ain't yet to come
My story's out there still untold
Out on this open road

Oh, yeah, it's gonna be alright through this drowning rain tonight 
'Cause I know I'm not alone
My wheels are turning, I'm not there but I'm learning
I'll get there my own way

So don't tell me it's all been done
And that the best ain't yet to come
My story's out there still untold
And it's one that only God knows
Somewhere down this open road

Oh, out on this open road
