Wide Open Spaces - BlackHawk

She stares out her window

At the west Texas sky

Watching the sun sinking low

Now the desert lies empty

Just like her life

A wild flower with no place to grow

Her heart’s like those wide open spaces

The years have left traces

Of long lost lovers gone by

And each day she faces wide open spaces

By counting her heartaches

With each tear she cries

She once was a queen

From the last chance cafe

To the main road out of town

Now she waits for her memories

That never arrive

She is lost and she’ll never be found

Her heart’s like those wide open spaces

The years have left traces

Of long lost lovers gone by

And each day she faces wide open spaces

Counting her heartaches

With each tear she cries

Now the desert lies empty

Just like her life

A wild flower with no place to grow

Her heart’s like those wide open spaces

The years have left traces

Of long lost lovers gone by

And each day she faces those wide open spaces

By counting her heartaches

With each tear she cries
