Wide Open
The corner café
She scrapes some quarters off the table
Says, thanks yeah, now maybe I'll be able
To get that black Mercedes
I've been saving for
The other girls say
You outta undue a couple buttons
Start showing off a little something
She says no, you go ahead
Think I'd rather stay poor
See, I'm just making rent
She said this ain't where my road ends
This may not be my town
It'll do for now
'Til I can figure out
Who I am
Where I'm going
She's slinging eggs and bacon
With a college education
Just hanging out and waiting
For a better plan
She's ok not knowing
She's young
And the world's wide open
There's a rusty old ford
Lives out back behind the diner
Sitting there waiting on her to make her mind up
It tends to sling a little gravel
And take her who knows where
Maybe head out west
It's in God's hands, I guess
This may not be my town
It'll do for now
'Til I can figure out
Who I am
Where I'm going
She's slinging eggs and bacon
With a college education
Just hanging out and waiting
For a better plan
She's ok not knowing
She's young
And the world's wide open
She throws down that apron
Takes the money she's been making
Her life's out there waiting
Got a better plan
That's where she's going
She's young
And the world's wide open
She scrapes some quarters off the table
Says, thanks yeah, now maybe I'll be able
To get that black Mercedes
I've been saving for
The other girls say
You outta undue a couple buttons
Start showing off a little something
She says no, you go ahead
Think I'd rather stay poor
See, I'm just making rent
She said this ain't where my road ends
This may not be my town
It'll do for now
'Til I can figure out
Who I am
Where I'm going
She's slinging eggs and bacon
With a college education
Just hanging out and waiting
For a better plan
She's ok not knowing
She's young
And the world's wide open
There's a rusty old ford
Lives out back behind the diner
Sitting there waiting on her to make her mind up
It tends to sling a little gravel
And take her who knows where
Maybe head out west
It's in God's hands, I guess
This may not be my town
It'll do for now
'Til I can figure out
Who I am
Where I'm going
She's slinging eggs and bacon
With a college education
Just hanging out and waiting
For a better plan
She's ok not knowing
She's young
And the world's wide open
She throws down that apron
Takes the money she's been making
Her life's out there waiting
Got a better plan
That's where she's going
She's young
And the world's wide open
