Lyrics

[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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the highest stakes
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the highest stakes
She knows the highest stakes
[Verse 4]
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 a-that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know
[Chorus]
She needed wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the highest stakes
[Outro]
She knows the highest stakes
She knows the highest stakes (Wide open spaces)
She knows the highest stakes
She knows the highest stakes (Wide open spaces)
