Dixie Chicks - Wide Open Space Lyrics
Who doesn't know what I'm talking aboutWho's never left home, never struck outTo find a dream and a life of their ownA place in the clouds, a foundation of stoneMany precede and many will followA young girl's dream no longer hollowIt takes the shape of a place out westBut what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed<>She needs wide open spacesRoom to make her big mistakesShe needs new facesShe knows the high stakesShe traveled this road as a childWide-eyed and grinning she never tiredBut now she won't be coming back with the restIf these are life's lessons, she'll take this test<>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 agoWhen she stood there and let her own folks know."repeat chorus
