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 Chart
The 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
