Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well the drums rolled off in my forehead
Guns went off in my chest
Remember carrying the baby just for you
Crying in the wilderness
[Verse 2]
I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin
Cut them off as limbs
I drove out over the flatland
Hunting down you and him
[Verse 3]
The sky was big and empty
My chest filled to explode
I yelled my insides out at the sun
At the wide open road
[Verse 4]
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
[Verse 5]
So how do you think it feels?
Sleeping by yourself
When the one you love, the one you love
Is with someone else
[Verse 6]
Then it's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
And now you can go any place
That you want to go
[Verse 7]
I wake up in the morning
Thinking I'm still by your side
I reach out just to touch you
Then I realise
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
[Verse 8]
So how do you think it feels?
Sleeping by yourself (Sleeping by yourself)
When the one you love, the one you love
Is with someone else
[Verse 9]
I wake up in the morning
(It's a wide open road) Thinking I'm still by your side
(It's a wide open road) I reach out just to touch you
(It's a wide open road) Then I realise
[Verse 10]
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
[Verse 11]
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
[Verse 12]
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
[Verse 13]
And now you can go any place
That you want to go
