dixie chicks: wide open spaces

who doesnt know what im talking about 

whos never left home, whos 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 girls dream no longer hollow 

it takes the shape of a place out west 

but what it holds for her, she hasnt yet guessed 

she needs wide open spaces 

room to make her big mistakes 

she needs new faces 

she knows the high stakes 

she travelled this road as a child 

wide eyed and grinning, she never tired 

but now she wont be coming back with the rest 

if these are lifes lessons, shell take this test 

as her folks drive away, her dad yells, "check the oil!" 

mom stares out the window and says, "im leaving my girl" 

she says, it didnt seem like that long ago 

when she stood there and let her own folks know
