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
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
Into the great
wide open
Under them
skies of blue
Out in the great
wide open
A rebel without a clue
