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 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 There A and R man said "I don't hear a single" The future was wide open (Ohh)
Into the great wide open Under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open A revel without a clue
Into the great wide open Under them skies of blue Into the great wide open A revel without a clue (Ohh)
