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 high 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 high stakes She knows the high stakes (Ah, ah) And 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 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 high stakes She knows the high stakes She knows the highest stakes (wide open spaces) She knows the highest stakes She knows the highest stakes (wide open spaces)
Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends All through their high school days Both members of the 4H Club Both active in the FFA After graduation Mary Anne went out Lookin' for a bright new world Wanda looked all around this town And all she found was Earl Well it wasn't two weeks After she got married That Wanda started getting abused She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses And make-up to cover a bruise Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce She let the law take it from there But Earl walked right through that restraining order And put her in intensive care Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta On a red eye midnight flight She held Wanda's hand As they worked out a plan And it didn't take 'em long to decide That Earl had to die Goodbye Earl Those black-eyed peas? They tasted all right to me Earl You're feelin' weak? Why don't you lay down And sleep Earl? Ain't it dark Wrapped up in that tarp Earl? The cops came by to bring Earl in They searched the house high and low Then they tipped their hats And said, "thank you ladies If you hear from him let us know" Well the weeks went by and Spring turned to Summer And Summer faded into Fall And it turns out he was a missing person Who nobody missed at all So the girls bought some land And a roadside stand Out on Highway 109 They sell Tennessee ham And strawberry jam And they don't lose any sleep at night 'Cause Earl had to die Goodbye Earl We need a break Let's go out to the lake Earl We'll pack a lunch And stuff you in the trunk Earl Well is that all right? Good! Let's go for a ride Earl Hey Na na na na na na Well hey hey hey Na na na na na na Aw hey hey hey Na na na na na na Well hey hey hey Na na na na na na
I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly I wanna sleep on the hard ground In the comfort of your arms On a pillow of blue bonnets In a blanket made of stars Oh, it sounds good to me I said, cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I wanna walk and not run I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall I wanna be the only one for miles and miles Except for maybe you and your simple smile Oh, it sounds good to me Yes, it sounds so good to me Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly Oh, it sounds so good to me Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you Closer to you Cowboy take me away Closer to you
Should've been different, but it wasn't different was it Same old story and Dear John and so long It should have fit like a glove It should've fit like a ring, like a diamond ring A token of a true love Should've all worked out but it didn't She should be here now but she isn't There's your trouble, There's your trouble Keep seein' double with the wrong one And you can see I love you You can't see she doesn't But you just keep holding on There's your trouble So now your thinkin' bout all your missin' How deep your sinkin' Round and round and draggin' down Why don't you cash in your chips Why don't you call it a loss Not such a big loss Chalk it up for better luck Could have been true love But it wasn't It should all add up But it doesn't There's your trouble, There's your trouble Keep seein' double with the wrong one And you can see I love you You can't see she doesn't But you just keep holding on There's your trouble Should have all worked out But it didn't She should be here now But she isn't There's your trouble, There's your trouble Keep seein' double with the wrong one And you can see I love you You can't see she doesn't But you just keep holding on There's your trouble, There's your trouble There's your trouble, There's your trouble There is your truoble
Forgive? Sounds good Forget? I'm not sure I could They say time heals everything But I'm still waiting I'm through with doubt There's nothing left for me to figure out I've paid a price And I'll keep paying I'm not ready to make nice I'm not ready to back down I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time to go 'round and 'round and 'round It's too late to make it right I probably wouldn't if I could 'Cause I'm mad as hell Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should I know you said Can't you just get over it? It turned my whole world around And I kind of like it I made my bed and I sleep like a baby With no regrets and I don't mind sayin' It's a sad, sad story when a mother will teach her Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger And how in the world can the words that I said Send somebody so over the edge That they'd write me a letter Sayin' that I better Shut up and sing or my life will be over I'm not ready to make nice I'm not ready to back down I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time to go 'round and 'round and 'round It's too late to make it right I probably wouldn't if I could 'Cause I'm mad as hell Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should (I'm not ready)I'm not ready to back down I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time to go round and round and round It's too late to make it right I probably wouldn't if I could 'Cause I'm mad as hell Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should What it is you think I should Forgive? Sounds good Forget? I'm not sure I could They say time heals everything But I'm still waiting
