The Great Wide Open

Giddy up giddy up hyah hyah Giddy up giddy up hyah haa Giddy up giddy up hyah hyah Giddy up giddy up giddy up boy He never stays too long in one place He’s constantly on the move He never tries to settle down Never long enough to put down roots He never seeks our validation And he’s never bent on our applause He never needs no motivation I know the feeling just because The horizon is my destination The horizon is my escape The prairie holds my revelation From the dust trails to the lakes (La la la la la lala) I wish that I was free as a cowboy (La la la la la lala) I wish I was a lone rider (La la la la la lala) I wish that I was free as a cowboy (La la la la la lala) My horizon’s growing wider I’m holding the reins hoping (aha) I’m returning to the great wide open I’m returning to the great wide open I’m returning to the open No fence is high enough to keep him in He won’t be held in by barbed wire All through the night high on his horse he’s riding tall And his wild wild wild wild heart is on fire He slipped out before the morning broke Spur of the moment, long since gone Leaving no tracks here in this desert town Pulled his hat low against the sun Got his banjo strapped across his back With the moon light shining overhead He is free, not owing any debts, no no And he’ll never ever carry regrets (La la la la la lala) I wish that I was free as a cowboy (La la la la la lala) I wish I was a lone rider (La la la la la lala) I wish that I was free as a cowboy (La la la la la lala) My horizon’s growing wider I’m holding the reins hoping (aha) I’m returning to the great wide open I’m returning to the great wide open I’m returning to the open The great wide open Giddy up giddy up hyah hyah Giddy up giddy up hyah haa Giddy up giddy up hyah hyah Giddy up giddy up giddy up boy Giddy up giddy up hyah hyah Giddy up giddy up hyah haa Giddy up giddy up hyah hyah Giddy up giddy up giddy up boy (La la la la la lala) I wish that I was free as a cowboy (La la la la la lala) I wish I was a lone rider (La la la la la lala) I wish that I was free as a cowboy (La la la la la lala) My horizon’s growing wider I’m holding the reins and I’m hoping I’m returning to the great wide open I’m returning to the great wide open I’m returning to the open The great wide open I wish I was a cowboy In the great wide open Oh I wish I was a cowboy Oh the great wide open I am wishing and I’m hoping Giddy up giddy up hyah hyah Giddy up giddy up giddy up boy
