Bret Michaels - Open Road lyrics

Jesse was raised in the Hollywood Hills Living the perfect life Jesse was told what to think, what to wear What she could and could not buy Her parents too busy to listen Never give her the time of day All Jesse wanted was someone to listen To what she had to say She said, "They gotta let me be Gotta let me live my life" She packed her bags and slammed the door For the very last time What Jesse wants is an open road Her favorite song playing on the radio Cranked up loud, singing out of key Tell the whole world who she's gonna be Foot on the pedal, just a letting it go Letting it rock, letting it roll An open road to chase her dreams I think what Jesse really wants is to be young, wild and free Now Jimmy lives on the other side of town Struggling to stay on his feet Pulling away at some dead end job Just trying to make ends meet His mother pa**ed 10 years ago His father ain't never around And just because he's a poor boy Everybody thinks they can keep him down Boss man there to remind him A whole new 9 to 5 Jimmy looked down at his calloused hands Then he realized What Jimmy wants is an open road His favorite song playing on the radio Cranked up loud, singing out of key Against the wind, screaming, "This is me" His foot on the pedal, just a letting it go Letting it rock, letting it roll Open road to chase his dreams Jimmy really wants is to be young, wild and free Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Two lost souls are traveling Down that road of life A little bit of faith About to cross their paths tonight A lonely exit, East L.A Just to stop to watch the sun go down There was Jimmy on the hood of his car Thinking about turning around And somewhere in that moment Before the sun surrendered to the night Like some famous final scene Jesse caught Jimmy's eye Out there on that open road They found a life to call their own Living young and wild and free Just the way it was meant to be Jesse and Jimmy on an open road Favorite song playing on the radio Cranked up loud, singing out of key Young and wild and finally free Foot on the pedal, letting it go Letting it rock letting it roll On that open road they found their dream 'Cause what Jesse really wants, what Jimmy really wants What we all really want is to be young, wild and free Oh yeah, yeah Young, wild and free
