about
After a long hiatus, veteran Boston-based rock band Love in Stockholm is back! Taking advantage of copious time indoors during pandemic lockdown, the guys came up with the idea of a remote collaboration across the 6 different U.S. cities—spanning both coasts—in which they now reside. The result is "Open Road," an upbeat song with a relatable story that incorporates all the unbridled energy and soul that LiS was always known for.
lyrics
She put it all in a suitcase,
To hang in the wind where a wall should be.
And she has Gabby, the bulldog,
Chasing the American golden dream.
They’re on their own throughout it all,
And her mind flies back to the love she left alone.
(We get lonely on our own)
It gets lonely on the open road.
(We get lonely on our own)
It gets lonely on the open road.
She rides the wind and the highway,
No one around for a hundred miles,
And Gabby sits head out the window,
Face pulled back in a toothy smile.
Out on the road forever,
And her mind flies back to a picture of her home.
(We get lonely on our own)
It gets lonely on the open road.
(We get lonely on our own)
It gets lonely on the open road.
And when her prospects are worst,
She pulls a card from her purse,
To buy an elegant dress for Gabby.
She orders chocolates and wine
And single tickets online,
If anything could just make her happy...
(We get lonely on our own)
It gets lonely on the open road
(We get lonely on our own)
It gets lonely on the open road...
