Well you said you had enough you said that you were leavin'

I said shove off honey baby I ain't grievin'

Pack your bags and pull out this evenin' there's a wide open road

Early this morning you where nowhere about

And so I searched the town but you had done pulled out

I looked north east and west and then a leading south I saw a wide open road

There's a wide open road it's leadin' south from my abode

If you stick around and turn your damper down there's a wide open road

[ guitar ]

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 wedding ring when you went down that wide open road

If you gonna stay away then honey let me know

How to cook hot biscuits how to roll a dough

Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go down that wide open road

There's a wide open road and baby I want you to know

You can look down south you can turn back home and there's a wide open road
