Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to take these stones out of my pack
I've been walking way too long with all this weight here on my shoulders
Hard to move while you're looking back
You, you're like a light in the darkness
You, you got me on track
Now the future is a big wide-open highway
Just keep rolling all along, rolling along
Oh, the future is a wind that keeps on breaking
So hold my hand; let's dive in
Into the blue
'Cause I look at you
And I see the future
No ropes, no strings to tie us down
Nothing to keep us on the ground
I don't need to know and I don't care just where we're going
I just don't wanna turn around
Don't wanna turn around
'Cause the future is a big wide-open highway
I wanna drive it our way
Just keep rolling along, rolling along
Oh, the future is a wind that keeps on breaking
So hold my hand; let's dive in
Into the blue
'Cause I look at you
And I see the future
I don't wanna miss another minute
And now that I've got you by my side
In the future there's a big wide-open highway
I wanna drive it our way
Just keep rolling along, rolling along
Oh, the future is a wind that keeps on breaking
So hold my hand; let's dive in
Into the blue
I look at you
I look at you, girl
And I see the future
