Wide Open Road
Journey of Liberation
Lyrics
Well, you said you had enough
Expressing that the person has had enough of the relationship.
You said that you were leaving
Reiterating the decision to leave the relationship.
I said, shove off honey, baby I ain't grieving
Asserting a lack of sorrow or regret about the breakup.
Pack your bags and pull out this evening
Encouraging the partner to leave promptly.
There's a wide open road
Describing the availability of a wide open road, symbolizing freedom or a new path.
Early this morning you were nowhere about
Noting the partner's absence in the morning.
And so I searched the town, but you had done pulled out
Searching for the partner in town but finding that they have already left.
I looked north, east and west and then a-leading south
Checking various directions for the partner but realizing they are on a wide open road.
I saw a wide open road
Observing the wide open road, emphasizing the sense of liberation.
There's a wide open road
Reiterating the presence of a wide open road, emphasizing its significance.
It's leading south from my abode
Detailing the direction of the open road, indicating a southward path.
If you stick a round and turn your damper down
Suggesting that staying and adjusting could lead to a better situation.
There's a wide open road
Highlighting the availability of opportunities on the wide open road.
Well, the reason I was looking for you all over town
Explaining the motive for searching: to share important information.
Was to tell you that your kitty cat is still around
Noting the partner's belongings left behind, including a wedding ring.
And you left your wedding ring when you went down
Emphasizing the partner's departure on the wide open road.
That wide open road
Reiterating the existence of the wide open road, a symbol of separation.
If you're gonna stay away, then honey let me know
Asking the partner to communicate if they plan to stay away.
How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll the dough
Expressing the desire for communication and normalcy in daily life.
Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go
Reflecting on the chaos since the breakup decision.
Down the wide open road
Emphasizing the impact of the wide open road on the speaker's life.
There's a wide open road
Reiterating the presence of the wide open road, a recurring theme.
And honey, I want you to know
Expressing a desire for the partner to understand the situation.
You can look down south or you can turn back home
Offering the partner choices, either continuing south or returning home.
And there's a wide open road
Repeating the imagery of the wide open road and the freedom it represents.
