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
