Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
When the morning takes me from you, will you hold on to my name
Will the fields still remember, will the rivers feel the same
I've got to find my own horizon, got to chase the setting sun
There's a road that's calling louder than the one that I've begun
[verse]
I don't want to hurt you, girl, I don't want to see you cry
But this heart was never meant to settle, never meant to tie
I'll carry every memory folded soft against my chest
But a bird was never happy caged inside a gilded nest
[chorus]
'Cause I'm free as the wind that's blowing
Free as the clouds up above
Won't you let this old heart keep going
I'll come back if I can, my love
[verse]
The mountains keep on calling, and the highway keeps on turning
Every mile behind me is a lesson I'm still learning
I know that it's hard to watch me walking out that door
But a soul that's always wandering was never built to stay on shore
[chorus]
'Cause I'm free as the wind that's blowing
Free as the clouds up above
Won't you let this old heart keep going
I'll come back if I can, my love
[bridge]
Guitars are crying, taking off into the sky
Every note is asking why we ever have to say goodbye
But the open road is singing, and I've got to answer the call
I was born to keep on flying, I was never built to fall
[chorus]
'Cause I'm free as the wind that's blowing
Free as the clouds up above
Won't you let this old heart keep going
I'll come back if I can, my love
