Who doesn't know what I'm talking about  
Who's never left home, who's never struck out  
To find a dream and a life of their own  
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone  
 
Many precede and many will follow  
A young girl's dream no longer hollow  
It takes the shape of a place out west  
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed  
 
[Chorus:]  
She needs wide open spaces  
Room to make her big mistakes  
She needs new faces  
She knows the high stakes  
 
She traveled this road as a child  
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired  
But now she won't be coming back with the rest  
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test  
 
[Repeat Chorus] 
She knows the high stakes  
 
As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the oil!"  
Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"  
She says, It didn't seem like that long ago  
When she stood there and let her own folks know  
 
[Repeat Chorus]  
She knows the high stakes  
She knows the high stakes  
She knows the high stakes  
She knows the high stakes
