Well the drums rolled off in my forehead/
and the guns went off in my chest /
Remember carrying the baby 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 flatlands /
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 /
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 any place /
that you ever wanted to go /
I wake up in the morning /
thinking I'm still by your side /
I reach out just to touch you /
then I realise /
It's a wide open road /
It's a wide open road /
