Well, you said you had enough
You said that you were leavin
I said, "Shove off honey, baby, I aint grievin'
Pack your bags and pull out this evenin
Theres a wide open road"

On Saturday mornin' you where nowhere about it
And so I searched the town but you had done pulled out
I looked north, east and west and then a leadin' south
I saw a wide open road

Theres a wide open road
Its leadin south from my abode
If you stick around and turn your damper down
Theres a wide open road

Well, the reason I was lookin for you all over town
Was to tell you that your kitty cat is still around
And you left your weddin' ring when you went
Down that wide open road

If you gonna stay away then honey let me know
How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll a dough
Every thing's gone crazy since I told you to go
Down that wide open road

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