Wide Open Spaces(The 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 they're high stakes
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 the test
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows they're high 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 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 needed new faces
She knows they're high stakes
Okay well here it is. Matt's song of the week.
This is my song of the week after going through weeks of ignoring things that sit happily in front of me I faced them. I wrote a letter to my parents. It was... long and interesting and I hope it'll get the job done and this is pretty much my sentiments lately.
On a random side note my nose-al area has been really itchy for the past few days, it's starting to get rather aggravating actually.
Right so, yeah Matt's been feeling shitty what with her parents pretending everything is all right and ingoring her statement about dropping out of school which is totally a for sure by January at the latest and just has been feeling..... apathetic and depresso. But thats well on it's way to being fixed.
So yeah, song. It basically gets it perfectly. About leaving home and having to be willing to just take the leap into the unknown.
Well this has been sitting here for a long time without me writing anything thus I proclaim it finished.
The end
