"The Last Open Road" lyrics

The Last Open Road

How fast can I run?
How far can I go?
Oh, these are the questions
The young want to know

I met her in Brooklyn
She was coming from a Queens
I said, "Where are you going?"
She said, "Where have you been?"

Cause I'm trapped in here
Set me free
I know your world so let me see
Take me
Down that last open road
Yeah
Take me
Down that last open road

I know there's something
Past this place
I see it smile
On your jagged ragged face
Something tells me
Something strong
There's a world I've heard of
So before it's gone

I know it's out there
I know it's true
I wanna feel it
I wanna go with you
Before it's over
Before it's gone
An endless highway
And a freedom song

Cause I'm trapped in here
Set me free
I know your world so let me see
Take me
Down that last open road
Come on and take me
Down that last open road

Down that last open road
Yeah, yeah
Down that last open road

Take me
Down that last open road
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, come on
Take me
Down that last open road
Come on, take me
Down that last open road

Come on, take me
Down that last open road
Take me
Down that last open road

Yeah, that last open road
Come on, take me
Down that last open road
