Wide Open Spaces

Mentre sto finendo le valigie che mi accompagneranno nel mio nuovo viaggio tedesco, B. mi ha detto "Questa canzone sembra fatta per te". L'avevo sentita mille volte, ma come sempre, non ho mai fatto attenzione alle parole. Oggi sì...eccole:

WIDE OPEN SPACES
DIXI CHICKS

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 dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the highest 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

She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the highest stakes
She knows the highest stakes

As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the Oil"
Her mom stares out the window and says, "I'm a leavin' my girl"
She says, "It didn't seem like that long ago"
When she stood there and let her own folks know

She needed wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the highest stakes

She knows the highest stakes
she Knows the highest stakes
she Knows the highest stakes
she Knows the highest stakes

Non so se queste parole mi rappresentano al cento per cento, ma di sicuro per una buona parte. In ogni caso è una splendida canzone, che dedico a chi ancora non ha trovato la propria strada ed è alla ricerca di ... un senso.

Arrivederci a Monaco!
