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
