I think the lyrics pretty much say it, but I started out on a creative journey in Los Angeles in 2001 and let me tell ya, it's been quite an adventure on "Life's Open Road." The song is really telling my story of the ups and downs of being a creative and all the struggles I've faced (and we ALL face), but it's also a song about hope that YOU or anyone can find their "gold" and their reason on life’s open road. It might not be the success you're hoping for but it might be happiness with your family, a life helping others, becoming a multi-platinum rockstar or just a songwriter writing a song for a Hyundai commercial! lol It's YOUR open road and the world is your track. Good luck! 

Life’s Open Road (Come Along) 
By Zan Passante

Verse 1
When I started out, 
I was young and naive  
I stood before an open road
A path to set me free
But nothing could prepare me
For the journey up ahead
It was dark, cold and lonely
down a dusty road I sped

Pre-Chorus 
But I’m never giving up
And I won’t look back
Regret in my rearview
And the world is my track 

Chorus
Come along
Come along
Life’s a journey 
And a song
You might live to be the legend
In a place where you belong

Come along
Come along
Pack your bags
Won’t be long 
Roll the dice and ya might… 
find your reason,
On life’s open road 

Verse 2
I drove and drove on down that road
Looking for some gold
I threw my 6-string in the back 
My life was being towed 
Down through Mississippi
Santa Fe and to the coast
My ride was just beginning
And regret’s my only ghost… 

Pre-Chorus
But I’m never giving up
And I won’t look back
Regret in my rearview
And the world is my track 

Chorus
Come along
Come along
Life’s a journey 
And a song
You might live to be the legend
In a place where you belong

Come along
Come along
Pack your bags
Won’t be long 
Roll the dice and ya might… 
find your reason,
On life’s open road 

Bridge
Lots of ups
Lots of downs
Only villains in this town
Watch a sunset from your bed
Don’t let success get to your head
Little steps, buckle up
You’ll need a lifetime and some luck 
Just keep looking for that gold…
On life’s open road

Breakdown  
Come along come along 
Come along come along
And find your love
on life’s open road
