Who Doesn't Know What I'm Talking About Who's Never Left Home, Who's Never Struck Out To A Dream And A 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 What It Holds For Her, She Hasn't Yet
Chorus: She Needs Wide Open Spaces Room To Make Her Big Mistakes She Needs New Faces She Knows The High Stakes
She Traveled This Road As Child Wide Eyed And Grinning, She Never Tired But Now She Won't Be Coming Back With Rest If These Are Life's Lessons, She'll Take This Test
Repeat Chorus
She Knows The Stakes
As Her Folks Drive Away, Her Dad Yells, \"Check 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 Folks Know
Repeat Chorus She Knows The High Stakes She Knows The High Stakes She The High Stakes She Knows The High Stakes
