Well, you said you had enough
You said that you were leaving
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 were nowhere about

And so I seached 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 a round and turn your damper 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 is still around
And you left your wedding ring when you went down

That wide open road
If you're gonna stay away, then honey let me know
How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll the dough

Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go
Down the wide open road


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

And there's a wide open road
