Backstory:

So this kind of fell out of my head this week. Think this theme is usually very much a man theme (girl left country boy behind) and wanted to try and edgy, Kacey Musgrave-ish take from a female's perspective a female that is sweetly reminiscent but bold and confident in her choice to keep on her own path.......  she's not a city girl and she's basically content with that. That said, this would be extremely easy to turn into a man's point of view  which may be more commercial.... also i know memories of young love is NOTHING new so maybe it just can't be said in a fresh way, it was just something i wanted to write because i love travel, and city life and seeing the world but at the end of the day, i am happiest around a campfire at the ranch. So appreciative of your feedback, as always. robbi

Lyrics:

                                                  
Wide Open Sky

Verses: 

heard he’s in Manhattan 
kicking ass taking names
me i’m still a cowgirl
not much changes on the range

where we once spread quilts
shared moonshine by starlight 
campfires snapped, coyotes howled
and we stayed up all night

covered some bases
and a few home runs 
never occurred to us
that we wouldn’t stay young

Chorus:

And I had roots firmly planted
he had wings that needed to fly
wonder if we’d had ‘em both
would we have had to say goodbye
he craved action, adventure
buildings 80 floors high
and all i ever wanted 
was a wide open sky

Verses: 

i prefer to view life
from my weathered saddle 
riding my gal cherry pie
sunsets in a field of cattle

it may not  be glamorous
but it’s a beautiful life
Lord knows I’d never be
a proper city mans wife
 
Chorus:

Cause I had roots firmly planted
he had wings that needed to fly
wonder if we’d had ‘em both
would we have had to say goodbye
he craved action, adventure
buildings 80 floors high
and all i ever wanted 
was a wide open sky

bridge:

he’s part of the lands stories
that were written over time
and when i think about him
it always makes me smile

Chorus:

And I had roots firmly planted
he had wings that needed to fly
wonder if we’d had ‘em both
would we have had to say goodbye
he craved action, adventure
buildings 80 floors high
and all i ever wanted 
was a wide open sky
