I feel at home on those highways, when an empty bottle is my ashtray And the only people I have to see are at gas stations when I pay Never stayed long enough to fall in love or catch a buzz I get a pack of buds and hit the gas, pop the clutch and just go Headed where the setting sun meets the road, that's me Got a case full of beer in the backseat, white shirt and some worn out black jeans Little bit of water in the canteen, letter from my father and a photo of my family I'm not running from nothing I'm just looking for something And I know when I find my fortune, roaming free like wild horses Got a jar full of whiskey I got bottles on the way Caught a flight to California but Alberta's in my veins And my ma and pa still miss me but there's dreams I gotta chase Sticks and stones will break my bones, well, what's a hero without pain, hey Funny how the city gave birth to a cowboy Funny how the city doesn't even say bye when you leave Ride 'til the sky is the kind that you need Find what is hiding behind all the trees, knee high in weeds That's where you'll find it, that's what you've looked for, that is your assignment Drive 'til your eyes can't hold up your eyelids Follow the stars 'cause they're shining to guide you I've been on road trips I don't wanna look at 'em yet What's important is the places you'll go All that matters is the places you're at It's been a long trip and I will never look back Try to tell me what my course is, living my life like wild horses Got a jar full of whiskey I got bottles on the way Caught a flight to California but Alberta's in my veins And my ma and pa still miss me but there's dreams I gotta chase Sticks and stones will break my bones, well, what's a hero without pain, hey Got a jar full of whiskey I got bottles on the way Caught a flight to California but Alberta's in my veins And my ma and pa still miss me but there's dreams I gotta chase Sticks and stones will break my bones, well, what's a hero without pain, hey
