When I'm out here I think of heaven
Let that high plains prairie gold keep rolling in
And someday when I'm gone, I hope right now
There's a place I get to go again
When I'm with her it feels like flying
And thirty thousand feet above that fool I would've been
There comes a peace of mind when you find a lover
A peace at heart when you find a friend
And it fills my soul
Like a country road
Long way around
But I made it home
I found a reason
And the words to rhyme
Oh, I finally feel just like myself
And it's about time
It's about time I let go of a few things
It's plain to see now I was never in control
So, so long to all that come-of-age
Anger I held in
I'm living free as the wind blows
And it fills my soul
Like a country road
Long way around
But I made it home
I found a reason
And the words to rhyme
Oh, I finally feel just like myself
And it's about time
And how ya spend it
And how ya live it
And how ya give it
Oh, I wanna give it to you
About time that river opened wide
About time the stars lined up just right
And it fills my soul
Like a country road
Long way around
Oh, but we made it home
I found a reason
And the words to rhyme
Oh, I finally feel just like myself
And what good's a front porch sunset by yourself?
It's about time
Oh, it's about time
It's about time
