If I ever

get around to creating a "personal cd-biography" (?) for myself.. this song just might find it's way on it..


Who doesn't know what I'm talking about?
Who's never left home, who's never struck out?..
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow .
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

Chorus:
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

She travelled this road as a child
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test

Repeat Chorus
She knows the high stakes

As her folks drive away, her dad yells, 'Check the oil!'
Mom stares out the window and says, 'I'm leaving my girl'
She says, It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know

Repeat Chorus
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
