Lyric Wipe 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 guessed

CHORUS
She needs Wide Open Spaces
Room to make big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

She traveled 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

REPEAT CHORUS

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...

REPEAT CHORUS
