Built around The overwhelming beauty and freedom of wide-open Texas landscape - where the land heals the soul. Dust & Wire's red-clay authenticity carries the concept through country that rewards repeat listens. "Wide open Texas, where my healing begins and never ends" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs expansive, free. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
Drive far enough west and the world opens up
Like a book that was closed, now you can't shut it up
The sky's so big it makes you feel small
But in the best way, like you're part of it all
Mesquite trees bowing to the endless blue
Heat waves dancing on the avenue
Of nothing, miles and miles of nothing
But that nothing is the most beautiful something
[chorus]
Wide open, let the land breathe life into your lungs
Wide open, where the only songs are the ones the wind has sung
Wide open, spread your arms and spin
Let the Texas sky pour healing in
Wide open, nothing but the horizon line
Wide open, that's when I feel fine
Give me room to roam and room to grow
Wide open, let the heartland show
[verse 2]
City people don't understand the space
They think it's empty but I see God's face
In every acre, every rolling hill
Every quiet moment standing perfectly still
A red-tailed hawk circles overhead
Riding thermals like the wind is its bed
I want to be that free, that unattached
To everything except the land I've latched
My heart onto like a fence gate open
Swinging in the breeze, this is my devotion
[chorus]
Wide open, let the land breathe life into your lungs
Wide open, where the only songs are the ones the wind has sung
Wide open, spread your arms and spin
Let the Texas sky pour healing in
Wide open, nothing but the horizon line
Wide open, that's when I feel fine
Give me room to roam and room to grow
Wide open, let the heartland show
[bridge]
You can keep your skyscrapers and your walls
Your crowded streets and your shopping malls
I'll take the emptiness that's full of grace
Wide open is my happy place
[verse 3]
Sunset on the prairie's like a prayer being said
Gold and crimson bleeding overhead
I pull over just to stand and stare
At the masterpiece that's always there
And in the morning when the fog hangs low
The land reveals itself real slow
Like a secret shared between old friends
Wide open Texas, where my healing begins and never ends
[chorus]
Wide open, let the land breathe life into your lungs
Wide open, where the only songs are the ones the wind has sung
Wide open, spread your arms and spin
Let the Texas sky pour healing in
Wide open, nothing but the horizon line
Wide open, that's when I feel fine
Give me room to roam and room to grow
Wide open, let the heartland show
