Great Wide Open Lyrics

This body is well lived in

These eyes are worn but clear

Got a few more trips around the sun

Before the bow and cheer

I could tell you all the bad things

That I've done as a man

But will that humble you enough

To be better than I am?

Take me to the ocean

Where the waves fall like rain

Out in the great wide open

Where I can finally breathe again

Take me where the sunset dies

And the colors melt away

Out in the great wide open

Where I can finally breathe again

I can see the shadows

Of the hills I used to climb

And I can smell the bluegrass

As the sun wakes through the blinds

And I hope I've showed you everything

You need to be a man

Because you are the words you keep

So make sure you understand

When you take me to the ocean

Where the waves fall like rain

Out in the great wide open

Where I can finally breathe again

Take me where the sunset dies

And the colors melt away

Out in the great wide open

Where I can finally breathe again

There is no pain or worry

There is no right or wrong

And all the things you carry

Get laid down where they belong

We're not meant to last forever

And that's why we love so hard

Cause the greatest gift that we are given

Is the sand falls til it's gone

Now take me to the ocean

Where the waves fall like rain

Out in the great wide open

Where I can finally breathe again

Take me where the sunset dies

And the colors melt away

Out in the great wide open

Where I can finally breathe again

Breathe again

I'll see you again

I'll see you again
