Well the drums rolled off in my forehead
And the guns went off in my chest
carrying the baby just 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
The wide open road

It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road

How do you think it feels
Sleeping by yourself?
And the one you love, the one you love
Is with someone else

Then it's a wide open road
Then it's a wide open road
Now you can go anywhere
That you want to go

I wake up in the morning
Thinking you're still by my side
I reach out just to touch you
Then I realise

It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
Now you can go anywhere
That you want to go

It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
