Wide Open Spaces

This is also a pretty old song, the original first words were "look at this indigo man" and referred to Indigo, CA, which is desert country.  But a freind thought I said "silly" old man, and it kind of stuck.     By the way - besides the guitar and bass - I'm adding everything else on our old Casio keyboard!  Love those Casio drums!



Look at this silly old man
with a smile on his face
touching the ground with his hand
you know he loves this place

Look we're the only ones here
so get your hands in the air
get with the rythm
looking for wide wide open spaces.

Look at the young ones
looking to no one
playing in the sun
having so much fun

Look we're the only ones here
so get your hands in the air
get with the rythm
looking for wide wide open spaces.

My name
is just a part
of the everything everthying is one
and I heard momma say that you can't
take life for granted no
it's got to mean something yeah
come on
come on
come on my baby let's just grow!

Look at the young ones
looking to no one
playing in the sun
having so much fun

Look we're the only ones here
so get your hands in the air
get with the rythm
looking for wide wide open spaces.

My name
is just a part
of the everything
everthying is one
and I heard momma say that you can't
take life for granted no
it's got to mean something
come on
come on
come on my baby let's just grow!

This life has got to mean something.....
