From the recording Ride the Open Road
Lyrics
<p><strong>Chorus</strong></p>
<p>We took a road trip across the country</p>
<p>We started out in Philadelphia, PA</p>
<p>The road took us all the way to Seattle</p>
<p>Moving my baby girl out that way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>She was 27 and she wanted a change</p>
<p>Decided to head way out west</p>
<p>So we packed the car and started down the highway</p>
<p>Deep in my heart I knew it was for the best.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>3000 miles to go on our journey</p>
<p>3000 miles to drive we had</p>
<p>Lots of sights to see along the way</p>
<p>But still making this trip made me sad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> <strong>Chorus</strong></p>
<p>We took a road trip across the country</p>
<p>We started out in Philadelphia, PA</p>
<p>The road took us all the way to Seattle</p>
<p>Moving my baby girl out tha</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Bridge</strong></p>
<p>Was it really time for her to go?</p>
<p>I think that I really know</p>
<p>Sometimes you gotta let go</p>
<p>Change is often good for the soul.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We finally made it out to Washington</p>
<p>Starting out in old Spokane</p>
<p>Before heading west to Seattle</p>
<p>We somehow made it across the land.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Chorus</strong></p>
<p>We took a road trip across the country</p>
<p>We started out in Philadelphia, PA</p>
<p>The road took us all the way to Seattle</p>
<p>Moving my baby girl out that way</p>
