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
