Who Doesn't Know What I'm Talking About Who's Never Left Home, Who's Never Struck Out To A Dream And A Life Of Their Own A Place In The Clouds, A Of Stone
Many Precede And Many Will Follow A Young Dream No Longer Hollow It Takes The Shape Of A Place Out West But What It 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 Traveled This As A Child Wide Eyed And Grinning, She Never Tired But Now She Won't Be Back With The Rest If These Are Life's Lessons, She'll Take This Test
Repeat Chorus
She Knows The High Stakes
As Folks Drive Away, Her Dad Yells, \"Check The Oil!\" Mom Stares Out The Window And Says, \"I'm Leaving Girl\" She Says, It Didn't Seem Like That Long Ago When She Stood And Let Her Own Folks Know
Repeat Chorus She Knows The Stakes She Knows The High Stakes She Knows The High Stakes She Knows The High Stakes
