Wide Open Spaces - Live - 2003

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's 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 highest 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
 She needs wide open spaces
 Room to make her big mistakes
 She needs new faces
 She knows the highest stakes
 She knows the highest stakes, yeah

 Ah, ah, ah
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the oil"
 Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"
 She said it didn't seem like a-that long ago
 When she stood there and let her own folks know
 She needed wide open spaces
 Room to make her big mistakes
 She needs new faces
 She knows the highest stakes
 She knows the highest stakes
 (Sing it)
 Wide open spaces (yeah)
 (Room to make her big mistakes)
 (She needs new faces)
 (She knows the highest stakes)
 (She knows the highest stakes)
 (One more time)
 Wide open spaces
 (Room to make her big mistakes)
 (She needs new faces)
 (She knows the highest stakes)
 (She knows the highest stakes)
 She knows the highest stakes
 Highest stakes
