Album: Wide Open Spaces - Single

Intro
Ah
Hey, yeah

Verse 1
Who doesn't know what I'm talkin' about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

Verse 2
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

Chorus
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

Verse 3
She traveled this road as a child
Wide-eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now, she won't be comin' back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test

Chorus
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

Bridge
Ah
Hey, yeah

Verse 4
As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil"
Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leavin' my girl"
She said, "It didn't seem like that long ago"
When she stood there and let her own folks know

Chorus
She needed wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the highest stakes (Wide open spaces)
She knows the highest stakes (Wide open spaces)

Outro
Ah
Hey, yeah
