C
Well you said you've had enough you said that you were leavin'
       F
I said shove off honey baby I ain't grievin'
C
Pack your bags and pull out this evenin'
          D7        G7
There's a wide open road
C
Early this mornin' you were nowhere about
         F
And so I searched the town but you had done pulled out
         C
I looked north east and west and then a-leadin' south
        D7   G7   C
I saw a wide open road
There's a wide open road
             F              C
It's leadin' south from my abode
       F                           C
If you stick around then turn your damper down
             D7   G7   C
Or there's a wide open road
Well the reason I was lookin' for you all over town
       F
Was to tell you that your kitty-cat he's still around
        C
And you left your weddin' ring when you went down
     D7        G7
That wide open road
C
If you're gonna stay away then honey let me know
       F
How to cook hot biscuits how to roll the dough
C
Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go 
         D7   G7   C
Down the wide open road
There's a wide open road
          F             C
And honey I want you to know
        F                          C
You can look down south or you can turn back home
              D7   G7   C
And there's a wide open road
