Well, you said you had enough You said that you were leavin' I said, "Shove off honey, baby, I ain't grievin' You can pack your bags and pull out this evenin' There's a wide open road" Come early this mornin', you were nowhere about it So I searched the town but you done pulled out I looked north, east and west and then a leadin' south I saw a wide open road There's a wide open road Leadin' south from my abode If you can stick around and keep your damper down There's a wide open road 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 diamond ring when you walked down That wide open road Well if you gonna stay away then honey gotta let me know How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll the dough Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go Down that wide open road There's a wide open road And honey, I want you to know You can look down south or you can head back home And there's a wide open road Oh, there's a wide open road And honey, I want you to know You can look down south or you can head back home And there's a wide open road
