Wide Open Spaces Lyrics - Wide Open Spaces - Dixie Chicks

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 highest stakes

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

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 highest stakes 

She knows the highest 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 said it didn't seem like a-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 highest stakes 

She knows the highest stakes 

She knows the highest stakes 

(Wide open spaces) 

She knows the highest stakes 

She knows the highest stakes 

(Wide open spaces)
