Lately, I've been doing some thinking,
Trying to work out what went wrong,
Seems to me I’ve been putting up with you for way too long,
So I'm picking up and moving on.
I’m hitting the road,
Out on my own,
Deleting your number from my phone,
Gonna learn to be happy,
Just like I used to be,
Before I let you bring me down,
No more excuses,
Or needing to prove that,
I’m good enough as I am,
I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,
Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.

I can't believe it took me so long,
Just to see the hold you had on me,
But now it’s like I can breathe,
Nobody to answer to but me,
And that’s how it’s meant to be,
Finally doing’ this, finally free!
I’m hitting the road,

I’m good enough as I am,
I’m taking off, I’ve had enough,
Oh, I’m hitting the road, I’m hitting the road.

Hot sun, lazy days,
Day dreamin’ in the summer haze,
Slowin’ down and losing track of time.

Warm nights an ice cold beer,
Nothing but the crickets singing in my ear,
It feels good to be back home again.

It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,
Just two kids falling in love,
Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,
It was all so long ago,
But there’s no place quite like home.

Married now, with a couple a kids,
Oh time flies but that’s the way it is,
Where did those 25 years go?

Sometimes going back,
Is the only way to keep your present day on track,
You need to see how far you've come.
