Darrell Scott - Long Wide Open Road lyrics

[Darrell Scott - Long Wide Open Road lyrics]

I knew that I first loved her
With a meeting of the eyes
I did send my mental
Message under California skies
And I know that she received it
Before she turned to go
Down that long, wide open road

It was only two weeks later
In a San Bernardino bar
She was sitting by her lonesome
Shining like a northern star
And I asked her for direction
She paused before she spoke
Why down that long, wide open road

We married in the springtime in
A grove of tangerines
Said goodbye to friends and family
Hello to all our dreams
Traded warm Mojave sunshine for


Rocky Mountain snow
And that long, wide open road
November nights were cold in our
Cabin on the hill
We'd gather oak and mesquite to
Chase away the chill
But a colder wind was blowing from
Deep down in her soul
That kept her on that wide open road

I gave all I could give her
And I looked around for more
While I was looking for forever
She was looking for the door
But her sad eyes were determined on
The day she let me go
Down that long, wide open road

That was oh, so many years now
I have other tales to tell
But, if you see my Southern gypsy
Tell her Shakespeare bids her well
Maybe take this song to give her
To lighten up her load
Down that long, wide open road
Down that long, wide open road
