CHORUS:
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She traveled this road as a child
Wide-eyed and grinning she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take the test
CHORUS:
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil!"
Mom stares out the window and says "I'm leaving my girl."
She says, "It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know."
CHORUS:
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
