Reasons To Fly
Written by Josh Johnston & Jessi Mason
© 2019 Copyright Control

A stranger in her own backyard
Unsure of what lies ahead
Never seen the mountains, or the wind farms
On a road that never seems to bend,

Lucid dreams, New directions,
One more reason to fly
She hits the gas and rolls until she finds it

Twenty-three hours on the road
Three more days till journey's end,
Stop for sleep, coffee to go
Find a paper, phone a friend

Doubts and fears about what she’s leaving
Many reasons to fly,
She hits the road and runs until she
Finds things in the lightning storm
Electric pull toward something new
Ownership of her mistakes
The willingness to say goodbye
The bittersweet of moving on
Drop off the keys And then she's gone,

Hopes and dreams, destinations
Many reasons to fly,
She hits the gas and rolls until she finds

She's a stranger in her own backyard
No idea of what lies ahead
She’s not seen the mountains, or the wind farms,
The road never seems to end.
