Wide Open

(Album: Black Powder Soul - 2021)

Mountain air is clear tonight
Highway 11 it winds into the wide open
Living in the wide open
Takes me back to those two years
Trying to disappear into the wide open
Living in the wide open

It's a far fetch dream
Cross the railroad tracks
Once you've seen what I've seen
Know there ain't no coming back
From living in the wide open

Listen as the coyotes sing
Altered my mind and left my veins wide open
Eyes and ears wide open
Lay on my back and hope mama's prayers
Reach the man living up there in the wide open
Bet he loves the wide open

It's a far fetch dream
Cross a cigarette drag
Once you've seen what I've seen
Know there ain't no coming back
From living in the wide open

Just like we always do
Come back for love and it wonders to the wide open
She's now living in the wide open
Lonely as this motel bar
She left my car door and my arms wide open
For everyone to notice

It's a far fetch dream
Cross shattered glass
Once you've seen what I've seen
Know there ain't no coming back
From living in the wide open
