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's no longer hollow It takes the shape of a place out west But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet met She needs wide open spaces Room to make her big mistakes She needs new faces She knows the highest things 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 lights glisten, she'll take this test She needs wide open spaces Room to make her big mistakes She needs new faces She knows the highest things She knows the highest things Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Yeah, yeah, yeah Two folks drive away, her dad yells Mom stares out the window from sense She said it didn't seem like that long ago When she stood there and let her own folks know She needs wide open spaces Room to make her big mistakes She needs new faces She knows the highest things She knows the highest things Sing it! Wide open spaces Room to make her big mistakes She needs new faces She knows the highest things She knows the highest things Highest things Wide open spaces *
