eddie waited til 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
the sky was the limit
his leather jacket had
chains that would jingle
they both met movie stars
partied and mingled
their a and 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
into the great wide open
a rebel without a clue
