Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out West
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

She traveled this road as a child
Wide-eyed and grinning she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test

She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil!"
Mom stares out the window and says
"I'm leaving my girl."
She says it didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know

She needed wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

Who doesn't know what I'm talking about  
Who's never left home, who's never struck out  
To find a dream and a life of their own  
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone  
  
Many precede and many will follow  
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow  
It takes the shape of a place out West  
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed  
  
She needs wide open spaces  
Room to make her big mistakes  
She needs new faces  
She knows the high stakes  
  
She traveled this road as a child  
Wide-eyed and grinning she never tired  
But now she won't be coming back with the rest  
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test  
  
She needs wide open spaces  
Room to make her big mistakes  
She needs new faces  
She knows the high stakes  
  
As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil!"  
Mom stares out the window and says  
"I'm leaving my girl."  
She says it didn't seem like that long ago  
When she stood there and let her own folks know  
  
She needed wide open spaces  
Room to make her big mistakes  
She needs new faces  
She knows the high stakes
