Goodbye Wide Open Spaces Songtext
von Chokecherry

I locked the front door for the last time
It seems like so much has been moving on
Just a quiet lone wind blowing
Down the highways towards the cities
Where the light′s so bright you can't see the stars at night

It′s quiet here in the evening
Main Street is drunk and black
A sad country song playing
While the waitress gives me a weird look from the back
A tear falls to my plate


Goodbye red brakes light shine
Farewell dust rises into blue midnight skies
A guitar in my hand
Pack on my back
Hope to Christ that I never come back
Goodbye farewell my home

Freight train's always in the distance
I hear it whistle long and slow
But when I hear that steel rail rumbling
It cuts me so deep I know my blood is in this soil

There's such a thing as too much suffering
In too wide open empty space
But there′s places everywhere just waiting
And here I am an empty man in this empty land
Empty bottle in my hand I can′t let go

Goodbye red brakes light shine
Farewell dust rises into blue midnight skies
A guitar in my hand
Pack on my back
Hope to Christ that I never come back
Goodbye farewell my home
