Push the pedal to the floor
The UHaul starts to fly
Bland Ohio countryside
Is swiftly sliding by
In the rearview I can see
Clouds of what we used to be
And those clouds begin to spread
But the sunrise lies ahead
Yeah, the western sky is black
But I'm never looking back
'Cause I got my eyes on the road
And the blue horizon
Skating in these mountain hills
A fog drifts through my mind
Distant echos in my ear
Of the life I left behind
Miles from everything I know
With a million miles to go
But this mist can't wash away
Thoughts of you and yesterday
But my mind will soon be clear
And this fog will disappear
'Cause I'll keep my eyes on the road
And the blue horizon
All the roads you led me down
Twists and turns you sped me through
All the detours and mistakes
All the times I hit the brakes
Brought me winding back to you
Well, you stole those seven years
Blinked my eyes and they were gone
But I'm finally changing gears
I'm driving on
As the skyline comes in view
Brand new city welcomes me
In this maze of glass and steel
For the first time I feel free
Not a victim of my past
Now, I'm moving on at last
True, I'm traveling alone
But at least my life's my own
Now I'll mend my broken heart
And I'll make a brand new start
'Cause I've got my eyes on the road
Yeah, I've got my eyes on the road
Yeah, I've got my eyes on the road
And the blue horizon
