Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh

Lord help me

Verse 1

Worn rubber

Worn out patience for this state

I drove until the sunrise burned my eyes

Left the trailer

Left the town

Left the trouble at the gate

Pre-Chorus

Mountain peaks ahead

Thunder overhead

Valley deep instead

Chorus

Give me wide open spaces

Give me new faces

The blacktop is calling my name

Calling my name

Give me wide open spaces

Wild and high places

The highway is always the same

Always the same

Post-Chorus

Ooh ooh

Way out west

Verse 2

Cactus shadows stretch long

Gas tank needles sitting low

Counting every fence post on the ridge

Rolling south

Rolling fast

Rolling past where things went wrong

Pre-Chorus

Sky is turning red

No more words unsaid

Follow where I’m led

Chorus

Give me wide open spaces

Give me new faces

The blacktop is calling my name

Calling my name

Give me wide open spaces

Wild and high places

The highway is always the same

Always the same

Bridge

Broken clock on the dashboard

Cracked mirror in the back

Keep on moving

Keep on looking

Keep on living on the track

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Give me wide open spaces

Give me new faces

The blacktop is calling my name

Calling my name

Give me wide open spaces

Wild and high places

The highway is always the same

Always the same

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

I'm gone

Way out west
