It's pouring outside, and my roof is leaking
I just let the raindrops bleed out the ink from my notebook sheets, and
Today's a Thursday, and then it's three days late
I marked on the calendar, and circled today's date
This is the last straw, this isn't life here
I'm packing my dreams up, and leaving my nightmares

And they save the west til you feel the sunset
And there you'll become a star
So I traded my skinny jeans for dreams and limousines
And I'm gone

I'll send you a postcard, saying I'm alright (alright)
On the back, that I'm in love with life
I'll send you a postcard, and sign my name in the stars
My radio's turned up, a full tank in my car
And I promise we'll be together
I'll never say never, I'll always remember goodbye
'Cause I gotta go
I'll send you a postcard

Smashing on the gas, 95 on the highway
Got about a thousand more miles to go, I might make it by Friday
The road's never ending, I never slow pace, and
The choice is now all mine, for my destination
They ask why I'm rushing, my dreams are waiting
So fasten your seatbelt, 'cause I'm gonna make it

And they save the west til you feel the sunset
And there you'll become a star
So I traded my skinny jeans for dreams and limousines
And I'm gone

I'll send you a postcard, saying I'm alright (alright)
On the back, that I'm in love with life
I'll send you a postcard, and sign my name in the stars
My radio's turned up, a full tank in my car
And I promise we'll be together
I'll never say never, I'll always remember goodbye
'Cause I gotta go
I'll send you a postcard
I'll send you a postcard

To whom it may concern, whoever this gets to
There's no looking back, I took off my rearview
Got my hopes on the passenger side
There's only room for two
And I'll...

I'll send you a postcard, saying I'm alright (alright)
On the back, that I'm in love with life
I'll send you a postcard, and sign my name in the stars
My radio's turned up, a full tank in my car
And I promise we'll be together
I'll never say never, I'll always remember goodbye
'Cause I gotta go
I'll send you a postcard
