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
