[Verse 1]
Gas pedal's got that Tulsa west wind blowin'
That empty seat is gettin' to me good
Dust bowl stretch of Oklahoma
Wouldn't grow green grass even if it could

[Chorus]
Never felt so small under this big sky
Stars look better shinin' in your eyes
Freedom ain't everything that I was hopin'
Hello from the not so great wide open

[Verse 2]
I used to think that dreams were made for chasin'
Until I let one catch me by the hand
Fooled us both into thinkin' that I was stayin'
Broke that promise lookin' for the promise land

[Chorus]
Never felt so small under this big sky
Stars look better shinin' in your eyes
Freedom ain't everything that I was hopin'
Hello from the not so great wide open

[Bridge]
Wheels rollin', wide open
My heart's broken wide open
[Chorus]
Never felt so small under this big sky
Stars look better shinin' in your eyes
Freedom ain't everything that I was hopin'
Hello from the not so great wide open

[Outro]
Not so great wide open
Not so great wide open
Wide open
