Open road has endless ways to move along
Hearts of gold can sometimes turn to stone
I live my life with the best intentions, always meant this
Oh, I keep my mind, never fenced in, always open ended
I keep my mind always open ended

I am free to be everything you're not
How can I welcome you with open arms
With your hands around my throat?

I am free to be everything you're not
How can I welcome you with open arms
With your mind so closed?

Don't bring me down
I walk alone, it doesn't mean my heart is absent
I'm building roads and bridges
While you're burning them down
And your heart is absent laying where you left it
I'll reconcile
But you'll fight me harder
I keep my mind, always open ended

I am free to be everything you're not
How can I welcome you with open arms
With your hands around my throat?
I am free to be everything you're not
How can I welcome you with open arms
With your mind so closed?
Don't bring me down
How can I welcome you with open arms
With your hands around my throat?

How can you open your mind
When you have it set in stone?
You'd rather cast me out to sea facedown afloat

I am free to be everything you're not
How can I welcome you with open arms
With your hands around my throat?
I am free to be everything you're not
How can I welcome you with open arms
With your mind so closed?

Open roads
There's endless ways to move along
Hearts of gold, can sometimes turn to stone
I live my life with the best intentions, always meant this
So, I keep my mind, never fenced in, always open
So, don't bring me down
