The Great Wide Open

Eddie waited till he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place
They both could afford he found a nightclub
He could work at the door
She had a guitar and she
Taught him some chords the sky was the limit
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue the papers said
Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains
That would jingle they both met movie stars
Partied and mingled their A and R man said
"I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
