Marking a turning point for The Grounded, their breakout single from the 1974 sophomore album, 'Guns and Cactus,' soared to the top of the charts.

Verse 1
I've got a pocketful of hopes and dreams
Heading west just me and my jeans
Nothing to lose no place to be
Just an open road calling to me
Verse 2
Met a guy at a gas station
"A Real slick talker"
Gave me a ride in his shiny Cadillac
"A real showstopper"
Said he was bound for Hollywood
"A star in the making"
But I saw a lost soul
"A gamble he’s taking"
Chorus
I'm on my way out west
Sun on my face
Feeling free a new life to embrace
No regrets No turning back
Just the open road
Just the open road
Band Solo
Verse 3
Days turn to nights
The desert widens
Endless horizons
A place to hide
Campfires and stories
The stars above
Searching for answers
Searching for love
Chorus
I'm on my way out west
Sun on my face
Feeling free a new life to embrace
No regrets no turning back
Just the open road
Just the open road
Bridge
Chorus
I'm on my way out west
Sun on my face
Feeling free a new life to embrace
No regrets no turning back
Just the open road
Just the open road
