The good part.

I found a good reason to start being me

I finally learned that I’m where I should be

My life isn’t over cuz I started again.

This is the good part, the part where we win

I got my feet up on the dash sittin right next to my girl

Behind us is our past and in front is the whole world

Yeah we’re flyin down the freeway with nowhere real to be

I don’t mind gettin lost with this woman next to me

Cuz there’s Somethin bout her smile and the way she wears her hair

that makes it so damn hard for a guy not to stare

In one hand she’s got the wheel and the other is my heart

If you see her drivin somewhere shit you know I’m never far

Where to go from here when we’ve got all we need

Got me feeling like a bird yeah I’m finally free

It’s gonna sound corny but it’s like she gives me wings

Like I could just take flight and go farther than you see

But for now we’re in the car, puttin miles on the meter

At the end of every mile yeah I know she’s gonna be there

We’re driving past our worries, gonna leave it all behind

Hit the road of our life, and who knows what we’ll find

We ain’t switching lanes, we’re just staying in our own

We know Where we lay our heads is where we call our home

Cuz home is where the heart is, and my heart is in that seat

I don’t need a fuckin I address if she’s ridin next to me

I wanna see the sights that were hidden from our eyes

Go to where the mountains can reach and touch the sky

Or cruise through the desert where the sun is always king

Where the money, pain, and shame don’t mean a fuckin thing

We don’t need any maps or to follow any signs

Just a tank full of gas and some snacks to get us by

Threw my watch out the window I don’t need to know the time

I’ll let these winding roads and her smile be my guide

I don’t know where we’re going, but I’ll know when we’re there

But if I’m being honest it’s not like I really care

We could drive forever and it wouldn’t bother me

I know where she goes is where I wanna be

Sometimes you gotta slow down and take stock of where you are

When you think about it we dont ever get that far

From the things that haunt us and try to chase us down

Keeping us scared from living life in the now

But right now, there’s just nothing I could want more

Then to be right here with the pedal on the floor

Weve all get our dirt just waitin in the rear view

But I can see just fine now, workin with a clear view

So let me take a minute to talk about before

Life had me empty, I just felt so fuckin poor

Change is all I wanted but I had nothin to my name

But then I met this lady that would change the fuckin game

She pulled up in her car, lookin pretty like she does

Said take a ride with me, i promise you’ll have fun

She didn’t tell me I’d have the time of my life

That’d I’d be gone forever, just ridin with my wife
