Wide Open Spaces

Who Doesn't Know
What I'm Talking 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
Many Precede And Many Will Follow
A Young Girl's Dream No Longer Hollow
It Takes The Shape Of A Place Out West
But What It Holds For Her
She Hasn't Yet Guessed
She Needs Wide Open Spaces
Room To Make Her Big Mistakes
She Needs New Faces
She Knows The High Stakes
She Travelled This Road As A Child
Wide Eyed And Grinning  She Never Tired
But Now
She Won't Be Coming Back With The Rest
If These Are Life's Lessons
She'll Take This Test
She Needs Wide Open Spaces
Room To Make Her Big Mistakes
She Needs New Faces
She Knows The High Stakes
She Knows The High Stakes
As Her Folks Drive Away
Her Dad Yells  Check The Oil
Mom Stares Out The Window
And Says  I'm Leaving My Girl
She Says
It Didn't Seem Like That Long Ago
When She Stood There
And Let Her Own Folks Know
She Needs 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 High Stakes
She Knows The High Stakes
She Knows The High Stakes
