The future was wide open
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
A rebel without a clue
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
Out in the great wide open
Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single"
Into the great wide open
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The sky was the limit
They moved into a place they both could afford
The papers said "Ed always played from the heart"
Under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
The future was wide open
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
They made a record and it went in the chart
The sky was the limit
Into the great wide open
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
