Open Road
Jude Cole Lyrics

Black road, Georgia trees
The singer starts off his journey on a dark road accompanied by trees of the Georgia region.

Midnight moon, just stay with me
The singer requests the moon to accompany him on his drive during the late hours of the night.

Like a lighthouse in the sky
The singer compares the moon's brightness to that of a lighthouse in the sky.

And let these eighteen wheels fly
The artist requests the moon to allow him to speed down the road with his eighteen-wheeler truck.

I woke up this morning
The artist woke up early in the morning.

In a Motel 5
The singer stayed at a low-budget hotel named Motel 5.

Brokenhearted, I'm gonna drive through the night
The singer is sad and heartbroken and decides to drive all night long.

Down the open road
The artist is driving on the open road with no particular destination in mind.

I asked her where we stood
The artist asked his partner about the status of their relationship.

She said Johnny, this ain't no good
The partner replied that their relationship is not good.

You made the highway your home
The partner criticized the singer for always being on the road and not staying in one place.

And I'm just tired of livin' alone
The partner expresses her feelings of loneliness and wants the artist to stay with her more often.

So you go your way
The singer and the partner decide to go their separate ways.

And I'll go mine
Both the singer and the partner agree to pursue different paths.

And maybe one day you'll find what you're looking for
The partner wishes the singer good luck and hopes that he finds what he's searching for in life.

Down the open road
The artist continues his journey on the open road.

I've been down this road many a time
The artist has had multiple experiences of being on the same road before.

And Lord I've tried to find
The singer has tried to find something on this road before.

Some peace of heart, some peace of mind
The singer desires to find inner peace while traveling on the open road.

But this road just winds and winds
The artist feels like the road just keeps winding and is never-ending.

There's a crazy lady with high-heeled shoes
The artist notices a woman with high heels on the road.

She could take away my homesick blues
The artist feels like the lady could help him forget about missing home.

And lately I feel a little crazy, too
The singer has been feeling a little off lately.

Yes I do, Ma'am, yes I do
The artist affirms that he is indeed feeling crazy.

Got a dobule sleeper
The singer has a truck with a double sleeper.

I'm hell on wheels
The singer believes that he is a skilled driver.

Come on sweet thing, show me how love feels
The singer longs for companionship and desires to experience the feeling of love.

Somewhere down the open road
The artist believes that love and companionship are waiting for him somewhere on the open road.

She don't break down, she don't run cold
The artist describes his reliable truck and how it doesn't break down or run cold.

She's got heart and soul like a pot of gold
The singer praises his truck for having a lot of heart and soul, just like an elusive pot of gold.

Sees the white lines, when I'm driving blind
The singer trusts his truck to guide him even when he can't see the road clearly.

A hundred more miles and she's right on time
The artist knows that his truck will deliver him safely to his destination after driving another hundred miles or so.

Right on time
The artist reiterates that his truck will always arrive at its destination on time.
