Wide Open

MOUNTAIN AIR IS CLEAR TONIGHT 
HIGHWAY 11 IT WINDS INTO THE WIDE OPEN 
LIVING IN THE WIDE OPEN 
TAKES ME BACK TO THOSE TWO YEARS 
TRYING TO DISAPPEAR INTO THE WIDE OPEN 
LIVING IN THE WIDE OPEN 

IT'S A FAR FETCH DREAM 
CROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS 
ONCE YOU'VE SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN
KNOW THERE AIN'T NO COMING BACK
FROM LIVING IN THE WIDE OPEN

LISTEN AS THE COYOTES SING
ALTERED MY MIND AND LEFT MY VEINS WIDE OPEN 
EYES AND EARS WIDE OPEN 
LAY ON MY BACK AND HOPE MAMA'S PRAYERS 
REACH THE MAN LIVING UP THERE IN THE WIDE OPEN  
BET HE LOVES THE WIDE OPEN 

IT'S A FAR FETCH DREAM 
CROSS A CIGARETTE DRAG 
ONCE YOU'VE SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN
KNOW THERE AIN'T NO COMING BACK
FROM LIVING IN THE WIDE OPEN

JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS DO 
COME BACK FOR LOVE AND IT WONDERS TO THE WIDE OPEN 
SHE'S NOW LIVING IN THE WIDE OPEN 
LONELY AS THIS MOTEL BAR 
SHE LEFT MY CAR DOOR AND MY ARMS WIDE OPEN
 FOR EVERYONE TO NOTICE 

IT'S A FAR FETCH DREAM 
CROSS SHATTERED GLASS 
ONCE YOU'VE SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN
KNOW THERE AIN'T NO COMING BACK
FROM LIVING IN THE WIDE OPEN
