Old habits do die hard and the family tree will play it's card
It draws from deep inside that ancient room
Words rattle on the line, bitter hooks and vicious rhyme
I just want to watch the flowers bloom
Wide open spaces. I can't wait 'til I can go
I see wide open spaces. Where there's a little room to grow
If just one thing would change, just one link in this dead end chain
Then dominoes would stop tumbling over
Nose to the old grindstone, I'll find the roots and crack the code
So I can hold that pretty 4 leaf clover
Wide open spaces. I can't wait 'til I can go
I see wide open spaces. Where there's a little room to grow
You might not want to take this melody apart
But I feel changes coming on
I've been forgiven and I'm making my new start
I'd just as soon you come along
You might be all snuffed out, night and day drenched in doubt
But I know at least one thing that could free ya
This kettle's boiling hot, sardines are swirling in the pot
And I think Jane, she's got the right idea
Wide open spaces. I can't wait for us to go
I see wide open spaces. Where there's a lot room to grow
Wide open spaces. See the sunlight dancing through
Wide open spaces. Days of gold and skies of blue
