Wide Open Spaces

She stares out her window at the West Texas sky
Watching the sun sinking low
Now the desert lies empty just like her life
A wild flower with no place to grow

Her heart's like those wide open spaces
The years have left traces
Of long lost lovers gone by
And each day she faces the wide open spaces
By counting her heartaches with each tear she cries

She once was the queen of a last chance cafe
To the near the main road out of town
Now she waits for her memories that never arrive
She is lost and she'll never be found

Her heart's like those wide open spaces
The years have left traces
Of long lost lovers gone by
And each day she faces the wide open spaces
By counting her heartaches with each tear she cries

Now the desert lies empty just like her life
A wild flower with no place to grow

Her heart's like those wide open spaces
The years have left traces
Of long lost lovers gone by
And each day she faces the wide open spaces
By counting her heartaches with each tear she cries
