Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bare feet on the front steps Granddad spittin’ truth like seeds Said “Boy This land’ll hold you If you learn what it needs” Two-lane blacktop Ran right past our dreams We chased the dusk in rusted trucks Felt bigger than we seemed [Chorus] Wide with possibility That’s how the whole world looked to me From the open road To that leaning maple tree Every mile Every memory Building who I’d turn out to be Back when the future Was wide with possibility [Verse 2] Clocked in through the 80s Name stitched on my sleeve Punch cards Young hearts More to prove than we believed Nights in a small place Boxes on the floor We turned paychecks into baby clothes And called that being poor [Chorus] Wide with possibility Even when the rent ran lean From a busted couch To a kitchen full of steam Every bill Every broken week Taught us where we’d plant our feet Love made that narrow road Wide with possibility [Bridge] Now I’m on the front porch Watching someone else turn ten They ask me what the world is like I feel it all rush back again (oh yeah) [Chorus] Wide with possibility That’s how I still want it to be For every kid With a scraped-up pair of knees May their roads May their stories be Open as the summer breeze ‘Cause once you’ve seen it It stays wide with possibility

Warm heartland rock ballad, midtempo groove with strummed acoustic guitar, light organ pad, and steady drums; male vocals sitting upfront with a worn, storyteller tone. Choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and a melodic bassline; subtle electric guitar licks answer vocal phrases. Bridge pulls dynamics back to almost solo acoustic before full band swells back for a final, nostalgic chorus., world
