lyrics
Lyrics:
He won't tell you how to live your life
You drove for all those miles, through the storm and through the strife.
But don't look back my darling,
Cause all your troubles, are back on down the road.
I can't promise that all's a breeze from here
There might be bridges out, but keep the car in gear.
The way's not getting easier, but driving's always better with a friend.
You've come so far, there's no turning back
Now here we are, hang on a little longer
We're halfway there (x2)
We've got the windows down, we're letting in the breeze
The road noise rumbles on, air comes whistling through the trees.
We don't know what's ahead of us,
But it sure is better than the life you left back there.
I know that, you're still adjusting
But the promises we kept, are what keep us going.
We're halfway there, but it's funny how I've never felt closer than now.
You've come so far, there's no turning back
Now here we are, hang on a little longer
We're halfway there (x2)
Life's been hard, but that's all over now
We're in the car, on our way to better places.
Without a care, we're halfway there.
The road is where we live, the road is where we sleep.
The road has lots to give, more then you can believe (x4)
You've come so far, there's no turning back
Now here we are, hang on a little longer
We're halfway there (x2)
Life's been hard, but that's all over now
We're in the car, on our way to better places.
Without a care, we're halfway there.
