?Rising Up?

Verse1
Wide open space, fields for miles around
Stretch as far as I can see
There?s nothing to do, but sit back and watch
As it all passes by in front of me
Verse2
Feel like I been driving forever, as the world turns around
Diving forever, leaving your home town
Driving forever?.., turn me back around
Chorus
I?m rising up, on a long hill
Got music on the radio, got an engine that just kills
I?m rising up, gonna follow that line
Ain?t gonna blow it this time

Verse3
There?s miles between us, but memories stretch a ways
About as far as these eyes can see
Let?s close the gap, shorten the distance
I can?t let you pass by me
Bridge
I?m tired of leaving behind, things I don?t want to lose
Tired of learning things the hard way
I feel so lonesome, alone without you
Won?t you come fill up my day
Chorus

Verse 4
Wide open space, fields for miles around
Stretch just as far as I can see
Done all I could do, to make things right
Now I?m just gonna let it be
Chorus
