Well, you said you had enough
You said that you were leaving
I said, "Shove off honey, baby
I ain't grieving
You can pack your bags
And pull out this evening
There's a wide open road"
Come early this morning
You were nowhere about it
So I searched the town
But you 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
Leading south from my abode
You can stick around
And keep 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
Was still around
And you left your diamond ring
When you walked down
That wide open road
Well if you gonna stay away
Then honey gotta let me know
How to cook hot biscuits
How to roll the dough
Everything's gone crazy
Since I told you to go
Down that wide open road
There's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south
Or you can head back home
And there's a wide open road
Oh, there's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south
Or you can head back home
And there's a wide open road
