Lyrics

[01:33.03] Who doesn't know what I'm talking about?
[01:34.08] Who's never left home, who's never struck out?
[01:59.37] To find a dream and a life of their own
[02:15.45] A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
[02:16.71] Many precede and many will follow
[02:35.10] A young girl's dream no longer hollow
[02:37.20] It takes the shape of a place out West
[02:44.22] But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
[02:45.39] She needs wide open spaces
[02:46.41] Room to make her big mistakes
[02:51.27] She needs new faces
[02:52.23] She knows the higher stakes
[02:52.74] She traveled this road as a child
[02:53.46] Wide eyed and grinning she never tired
[02:54.24] But now she won't be coming back with the rest
[02:55.23] If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test
[02:58.50] She needs wide open spaces
[03:00.60] Room to make her big mistakes
[03:09.42] She needs new faces
[03:09.87] She knows the higher stakes
[03:10.38] She knows the higher stakes
[03:12.03] As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil"
[03:13.74] Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"
[03:22.80] She said, "It didn't seem like I left long ago"
[03:26.55] When she stood there and let her own folks know
[03:27.45] She needed wide open spaces
[03:28.11] Room to make her big mistakes
[03:28.77] She needs new faces
[03:29.22] She knows the higher stakes
[03:29.73] She knows the higher stakes
[03:30.24] She knows the higher stakes
[03:35.58] She knows the higher stakes
[04:09.48] She knows the higher stakes
