Let’s lay our troubles down, my girl
There’ve been lots of hard times for us in this world
Sacrifice leads to the door
It will widen the more we can endure
The strait is the gate that leads to the open road

We’ll be driving sixty in no time
No trouble up ahead, it’s all been left behind
And we’ll look back and say
“There’s was never any other way”
The strait is the gate that leads to the open road

We keep sinking in the sand
Let’s grab onto what is real
Reach out for the hand
That is stronger than steel
My love

We were so naïve way back at the start
We didn’t see it coming, but it nearly tore us apart
It’s a dark place, my friend
But we can see the light at the end
The strait is the gate that leads to the open road

There were times I felt we were never going to get out
We only knew how to scream and shout
I don’t ever want to return
A peaceful life is something we are going to have to learn
The strait is the gate that leads to the open road

(repeat chorus)
