Starting Over

The open highway sings a sweet song to me Calling me to pack my bags and to hastily flee To the next new and exciting chapter in my life A whole new world with no heartache or strife The new people we meet, I hope they are nice We'll never have regrets or have to think twice About the choices we have made along the way The consequences seen at the end of the day My family means the world to me, understand? They are the foundation of all I have planned A second chance at life, what a sweet thing What wonderful surprises can it possibly bring? Whether they are good or whether they are bad I will treasure it like everything else I ever had I try to be nice, pleasant, and very kind to all But sometimes I stumble and I still fall But I am ready to make the move today To start to love, to laugh and to play Starting over sounds so very nice to me With so many places I have yet to see
