Lyrics

[INTRO]
Gerry and Sue, they rolled in from Braylorne,
With hopes like a skyline, dreams never worn.
A miner’s grit, a family to raise,
They forged through the struggle, stepping through the haze.

[VERSE 1]
The 60s were heavy, they held on tight,
But the 70s shimmered with a neon light.
In a yellow Shelby, they’d chase the sun,
Every mile a heartbeat, every turn just begun.

[CHORUS]
Open road, memories alight,
Open road, machines whine in might.
The sweat, the tears, the risk of the unknown,
Thank you dad, adventure you had sown.

[VERSE 2]
He showed me the way with a wrench in his hand,
Teaching me freedom, “Boy, take a stand.”
The rumble of engines, the thrill of the breeze,
Together we conquered mountains and trees.

[BRIDGE]
Through dust and laughter, through storms and sighs,
Life’s a wild journey, with no compromise.
With every gasp of the roaring exhaust,
We learned that together, there’s never a cost.

[CHORUS]
Open road, memories alight,
Open road, machines whine in might.
The sweat, the tears, the risk of the unknown,
Thank you dad, adventure you had sown.

[VERSE 3]
Now I see his face in the winds as they blow,
With each twist and turn, I feel him, I know.
The lessons unspoken, forever remain,
In the saddle of life, the joy, and the pain.

[OUTRO]
So here's to the journeys that we share,
To the roads that we travel, and how much we care.
With Gerry and Sue, etched in my heart,
Their legacy lives on, in each brand-new start.
Open road, oh the tales that unfold,
With dad by my side, every memory gold.
Open road, forever we roam,
In the embrace of adventure, we always find home.
