One of my favorite country rockers. Recorded by Angela Peterson.

It was raining mighty hard
The day she told him goodbye
As he helped her pack the car
The rain hid the tears she cried

Chorus:
She knows somewhere down that road
Is the place she’s meant to be
Leaving’s always hard for her
But she’s going to chase her dreams

He asked if she had any doubts
About leaving him behind
She said she could have loved him
In some other place and time

Chorus:
She knows that lonesome feeling
That’s the price of being free
Leaving’s always hard for her
But she’s going to chase her dreams

She pulled onto the highway
As she blew him one last kiss
She’d made hard choices before
Never one as hard as this

Chorus:
She knows there’s a world out there
Full of places she’s never seen
Leaving’s always hard for her
But she’s going to chase her dreams

Bridge:
She’s got this vision in her head
Of the life she wants to lead
But you can’t get where you’re going
If you’re afraid to leave

It wasn’t her first goodbye
It probably won’t be her last
Dreams move at the speed of light
To catch them she must move fast

Chorus:
She knows somewhere down that road
Is the place she’s meant to be
Leaving’s always hard for her
But she’s going to chase her dreams
