Wide Open Road (demo #1) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Well, you said you had enough
You said that you were leaving
And I said, "Shove off honey, baby, I ain′t grieving
Pack your bags and pull out this evening
There's a wide open road"

Early this morning you where nowhere about
And so I searched the town but you had done pulled out
I looked North, East and West and then a leading South
I saw a wide open road


There′s a wide open road
It's leading South from my abode
If you stick around and turn your temper down
There's a wide open road

Well, the reason I was looking for you all over town
Was to tell you that your kitty cat was still around
And you left your wedding ring when you went down
That wide open road

If you going to stay away then honey, let me know
How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll a dough
Every thing′s gone crazy since I told you to go
Down the wide open road

There′s a wide open road
And maybe I want you to know
You can look down south or you can turn back home
And there's a wide open road
