(Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne)
|
Eddie waited til he finished high school
|
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
|
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
|
The future was wide open
|
|
They moved into a place they both could afford
|
He found a night club he could work at the door
|
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
|
The sky was the limit
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Into the great wide open
|
Under them skies of blue
|
Out in the great wide open
|
A rebel without a clue
|
|
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
|
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
|
They made a record and it went in the chart
|
The sky was the limit
|
|
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
|
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
|
Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single."
|
The future was wide open
|
|
(Chorus)
|
