Well the drums rolled off in my forehead And the guns went off in my chest Remember carrying the baby just for you Crying in the wilderness I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin I cut them off as limbs I drove out over the flatlands Hunting down you and him The sky was big and empty My chest filled to explode I yelled my insides out at the sun The wide open road It's a wide open road It's a wide open road It's a wide open road It's a wide open road How do you think it feels Sleeping by yourself? And the one you love, the one you love Is with someone else Then it's a wide open road Then it's a wide open road Now you can go anywhere That you want to go I wake up in the morning Thinking you're still by my side I reach out just to touch you Then I realise It's a wide open road It's a wide open road Now you can go anywhere That you want to go It's a wide open road It's a wide open road It's a wide open road
