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 dream no longer hollow
|
It takes the shape of a place out west
|
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
She needs wide open spaces
|
Room to make her big mistakes
|
She needs new faces
|
She knows the 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 this test
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
She knows the 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
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
She knows the high stakes
|
She knows the high stakes
|
She knows the high stakes
|
She knows the high stakes
|
