"INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN"



"ALL OR NOTHIN'"

Your  daddy  was  a  Sgt.  Major You didn't wanna, but he made you Wipe his
brass from time to time It left a picture in your mind You know?  You know?

You want it all, you want it all, All or nothin'

Here  am  I  a fallen arrow My load is wide, my street is narrow My skin is
thicker, my heart is tougher I don't mind workin', but I'm scared to suffer
You know?  You know?

You want it all, you want it all, All or nothin'

Sweet chariots of L.A.  swing low At twilight time the smog makes a rainbow
So keep one eye on the weather You had it good, you wanted better You know?
You know?

You want it all, you want it all, All or nothin'



"TWO GUNSLINGERS"

Two  gunslingers  walked out in the street and one said "I dont wanna fight
no more" And the other gunslinger thought about it and said "Yeah, what are
we fighting for?

I'm   takin'control   of   my  life,  I'm  takin'control  of  my  life  I'm
takin'control of my life now, right now, oh yeah"

Well  the  crowd  that  assembled for the gun fight Were let down, everyone
hissed  and  booed  And  a  stranger told his mrs.  "that's the last one of
these gunfights You're ever gonna drag me to

I'm   takin'control   of   my  life,  I'm  takin'control  of  my  life  I'm
takin'control of my life now, right now, oh yeah"

Well  the two gunslingers, went ridin'out of town and Were never heard from
no  more  And there ain't been a gunfight for a long time, Maybe never, but
nobody knows for sure

I'm   takin'control   of   my  life,  I'm  takin'control  of  my  life  I'm
takin'control of my life now, right now, oh yeah



"INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN"

Eddie waited til'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 night club he
could  work  at the door She had a guitar and she taught him some chord 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 rodie
named  Bart  They  made  a  record and it went in the chart The sky was the
limit

His  leather jacket had chains that would jingle They both met movie stars,
partied and mingled Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single"

The  future  was  wide  open Under them skies of blue Out in the great wide
open A rebel without a clue




"LEARNING TO FLY"

Well I started out down a dirty road Started out all alone And the sun went
down, as I crossed the hill And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing

Well  the  good  ol'days, may not return And the rocks might melt & the sea
may burn

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing

Well  some  say life will beat you down, break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out, for God knows where I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds, But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing
