Wide Open

I remember that sun setting
Them old blue jeans on the line
They were fading like a fire we had once upon a time
Back then it was simple
Two young hearts just singing
A love song that ended when you left the screen door swinging

Wide open
Miles left to go
Wild Horses lead me down this lonesome road
Got you tattooed on my arm
Before we left it all behind
Now I’m wide open
And I can’t get you off my mind
You cut me wide open

Now that winter wind is whipping
And It’s nipping at my neck
I recall how sweet you kissed me before we fell into this mess
And I think back to that picture
It’s still on the dashboard of my car
And I’m reminded of a time when you held your loving arms

Wide open
Miles left to go
Wild Horses lead me down this
Lonesome road
Got you tattooed on my arm
Before we left it all behind
Now I’m wide open
And I can’t get you off my mind
You cut me wide open

Well I reached out to a friend of mine
Who I hadn’t seen in years
And I told him all that happened
As I tried to fight back tears
He said man you need a drink
I got the cure down at the farm
We can forget about all of that and turn that screw top jar

Wide open
Let the corn liquor kill the pain
Wide Open
May the moonshine bright on your heart tonight
And take that hurt away
But even that white lightning
It can’t fix what’s left behind
Now I’m Wide open
I can’t get you off my mind
You cut me wide open
You cut me wide open
