| Well, you said you had enough
|
| You said that you were leavin'
|
| I said, «Shove off honey, baby, I ain’t grievin'
|
| You can pack your bags and pull out this evenin'
|
| There’s a wide open road»
|
| Come early this mornin' you were nowhere about it
|
| So I searched the town but you done pulled out
|
| I looked north, east and west and then a leadin' south
|
| I saw a wide open road
|
| There’s a wide open road
|
| Leadin' south from my abode
|
| If you can stick around and keep your damper down
|
| There’s a wide open road
|
| Well, the reason I was lookin' for you all over town
|
| Was to tell you that your kitty cat was still around
|
| And you left your diamond ring when you walked down
|
| That wide open road
|
| Well if you gonna stay away then honey gotta let me know
|
| How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll the dough
|
| Everything’s gone crazy since I told you to go
|
| Down that wide open road
|
| There’s a wide open road
|
| And honey, I want you to know
|
| You can look down south or you can head back home
|
| And there’s a wide open road
|
| Oh, there’s a wide open road
|
| And honey, I want you to know
|
| You can look down south or you can head back home
|
| And there’s a wide open road |
