  • Well, the drums rolled off in my forehead
    And the guns went off in my chest
    Remember carrying the baby just for you
    Crying in the wilderness

    I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin
    I cut them off as limbs
    I drove out over the flatland
    Hunting down you and him

    The sky was big and empty
    My chest filled to explode
    I yelled my insides out at the sun
    At the wide open road

    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road

    So, how do you think it feels
    Sleeping by yourself?
    When the one you love, the one you love
    Is with someone else

    Then it's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    And now you can go to any place
    That you want to go

    I wake up in the morning
    Thinking I'm still by your side
    I reach out just to touch you
    Then I realize

    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road

    So, how do you think it feels
    When sleeping by yourself?
    When the one you love, the one you love
    Is with someone else

    I wake up in the morning
    Thinking I'm still by your side (it's a wide open road)
    I reach out just to touch you (it's a wide open road )
    (Then I realize) it's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    It's a wide open road
    And now you can go to any place
    That you want to go Writer/s: DAVID RICHARD MCCOMB
