Dixie Chicks Tribute Band Wide Open Spaces song lyrics

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 dreams 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

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

She knows the highest stakes

(Wide open spaces)

She knows the highest stakes

She knows the highest stakes
