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
Where many proceed and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of somewhere out west
But what it holds for her she hasn't yet yet
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make a big mistake
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
Yeah
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 lifeless sons she'll take this test
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make a big mistake
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
As a folks drive away her dad yells check the oil
Mama says that the window says I'm leaving my girl
She said it didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own faults
And now she needed wide open spaces
Room to make a big mistake
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the highest thing yeah
She knows the highest thing yeah yeah
Wide open spaces
Yeah hmm
