Eddie Waited Till 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 Nightclub 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

T He 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



Into The Great Wide Open,

Under Them Skies Of Blue

Out In The Great Wide Open,

A Rebel Without A Clue



Into The Great Wide Open,

Under Them Skies Of Blue

Out In The Great Wide Open,

A Rebel Without A Clue
