"Wide Open Road" is a song written by Johnny Cash. Together with "Hey, Porter", it became one of the first songs he recorded for Sun.

Recorded by Cash in March 1955, it wasn't released as a single until 1964, years after his move to Columbia. (That year Sun included the song on the album Original Sun Sound of Johnny Cash and released as the only single from it.)

Composition

According to AllMusic, this early song "shows the singer still under influence of Hank Williams". It is also "a rarity in featuring the steel guitar of A.W. 'Red' Kernodle, who left the group shortly afterwards."
