Two Directions

You pack your bags - and tie them down
The horizon's caught your eye
I know that road has Two Directions
I won't cry or say goodbye

You'll go far with what you've learned
Once you leave what you love
But miles make lonely memories
Don't let the eagle kill the dove

They say no road goes on forever
You'll have to turn before too long
Go get your fill of highway wind
Come back to me with a song

You know I thank that open road
When you leave me with a kiss
I learned to share you with those lines
They bring you back to what you miss

But I won't count those lonely nights
Or spend half my life all alone
But it's here when you want it
And it's there when you roam

They say no road goes on forever
You'll have to turn before too long
Go get your fill of highway wind
Come back to me with  a song
