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 Travelled 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 Says, 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
