she fakes a smile when she feels broken so many words go left unspoken tries to pretend like there ain t nothing wrong walks into school with her head held high but little do they know how she feels inside as she watches the days drag on and on she tries to find a way to escape from all the pain that mom and dad cant seem to recognize she s tired of the weight got too much on her plate so she hops into her car to take a drive rolled down windows drivin down a backroad crankin up her favorite song don t know where shes headed she don t need directions she ll be driving all night long the sweet taste of freedom in the air that she s breathing just trying to feel alive ain t no lookin back now she s gone off the tracks now it s gonna be a long drive daddy left home when she turned 15 nobody said life was easy tear dried eyes staring at the ceiling mama went off and got remarried lost her job and just stopped caring heart gone numb to feelings not worth bearing she tries to find a way to escape from all the pain that no one else can t seem to recognize shes tired of the weight got too much on her plate so she hops into her car to take a drive  rolled down windows drivin down a backroad crankin up her favorite song dont know where she s headed she dont need directions she ll be driving all night long the sweet taste of freedom in the air that she s breathing just trying to feel alive ain t no lookin back now shes gone off the tracks now it s gonna be a long drive oh she s got the wind in her hair these roads could take her anywhere cause there ain t no destination on the road that she has taken rolled down windows drivin down a backroad crankin up her favorite song don t know where she s headed she don t need directions she ll be driving all night long the sweet taste of freedom in the air that she s breathing just trying to feel alive ain t no lookin back now she s gone off the tracks now it s gonna be a long drive
