Wide Open - Jason Aldean

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 oughta undo a couple buttons

Start showing off a little something

She says nah, 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

Till I can figure out

Who I am

Where I’m going

Shes slinging eggs and bacon

With a college education

Just hanging out and waiting

For a better plan

Shes OK not knowing

Shes young

And the worlds wide open

There’s a rusty old ford

Lives out back behind the diner

Sitting there waiting on her to make her mind up

Itching to sling a little gravel

And take her who knows where

Maybe head out west

It’s in Gods hands I guess

She throws down that apron

Takes the money shes been making

Her life’s out there waiting

Got a better plan

That’s where shes going

Shes young

And the worlds wide open
