Emptybottle.org: Wide Open

Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper - Wide Open

I'm feelin' wide open every day
I'm feelin' wide open every which a-way
Got something down inside of me
It just won't let me be
Got something down inside of me
and it's a-talkin' to me..

Said John Calvin he's long-dead
we gotta get that in our heads
we ain't got nothin' to fear
'cept for runnin' out, outta beer

Oh the time is now
the day has come
there are no rules
yeah only fun
you know what it is we gotta do

Don't give up before you've tried
Don't be afraid, yeah afraid to die
We ain't got nothin' to lose
Fear is our enemy
Takin' the life outta you and me

Everybody's in charge
we don't need to wait
Robert, Tim and Ishmael
Man them dude's great
Can't let 'em have all the fun
Get up and go, wake up and run
I am a-live!

Said John Calvin is long-dead
we gotta get that in our heads
Get that jealousy outta here
We ain't got nothin' to fear...

I gotta go

We don't need no more rules
Rules and regulations
We don't need cops, cops and spies
and all that sensation
We need freedom
We need freedom
We need freedom in the USA
Reinvent the USA
Every which a-way.

I'm out in Pennsylvania county
on Highway 7-1-8
Middle of a cornfield
No, I'm not too late
There's about thirteen
Thirteen '67 Chevy Malibus
In a circle, in the cornfield
with their headlights on...
And I can feel it.
I can feel!

And everybody's dancin in the headlights
Dancin' in the headlights
And off in the distance you can hear 'em sing...

I'm feelin' wide open
I'm feelin' wide open
I'm feelin' wide open
I'm goin' wide open
