[Verse 1]
Lately it's the mornings
When I miss her most of all
I miss her laughter
So long after
That laughter's gone

There's no comfort in these tears that I cry
Wish I could find just one person to tell me why

[Chorus]
I just wanna wake up
Underneath that open sky
Just wanna feel somethin' real
Before I die

[Verse 2]
And lately it's the evenings
When I really feel the years
All my sorrows
All my joys
All my fears

I hear children singin' songs, playin' games
They don't know that growin' up is learnin' pain
[Chorus]
I just wanna wake up
Underneath that open sky
Just wanna feel somethin' real
Before I die

[Outro]
I don't know where I'm going
I've got miles and miles yet to run
Wontcha follow me on the highway to the sun
Wontcha follow me on the highway to the sun
