Pack your bags, we leave tonight
Pull up stakes, the well’s run dry
Take what’s yours, leave the rest behind
Leave a note and tell her you’ll be fine
The tank is full and the moon is high
You get some sleep now, we’ll drive all night
Looking for salvation, crumbs of manna
Somewhere on the road to Texarkana
Don’t look back, it’s not your fault
Where we’re going, we’ll be big stars
No one there to hurt you, cross my heart
Some would say we’ve lost our way
looking for what’s ours on this highway
Funny how they miss you when you’re away
But, out here, there’s no time for nostalgia
We're Fueled with hopes and dreams to Texarkana
The further away you get
The better you’ll be
Yes, time heals all your wounds
But, still you bleed
The further away you get
The better you’ll be
Yes, time heals all your wounds
But, still we bleed.
Pack your bags, we leave tonight
Pull up stakes, the well’s run dry
Take what’s yours now, leave the rest behind
Hey, it’s nickel night in Shreveport, Louisiana
We'll drown our dreams tonight in Texarkana
Be anywhere you wanna be…
Be anything you wanna be...
Be anyone you wanna be...
