OPEN SPACES / Ray Smith
Got a Little song about open spaces
long flat planes high mountain places
Got one out the back
It's about this wide
That's where I go to fix my insides
-CH-
Open spaces that's for me
when trouble comes a knockin
That's where I'll be
A little bit of sweat, a little bit of love
It's like a gift from above
I moved seventeen times before I got here
Pedal to the metal year after year
Now I'm a little bit stuck here but it's OK
I got a hot little woman and she's here to stay
