Wide Open Spaces- Dixie Chicks

Capo 2nd Fret

Verse 1:

                        
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 no longer hollow 

                                 
It takes the shape of a place out west 

                                      
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed 


Chorus:

                       
She needs wide open spaces 

                         
Room to make her big mistakes 

               
She needs new faces 

                          
She knows the high stakes 


Verse 2:

                           
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 


[Repeat Chorus]
 
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 

[Repeat Chorus] 
She knows the highest stakes 
She knows the highest stakes 
She knows the highest stakes 
She knows the highest stakes
