Wild Winds Are Blowing

(album: Sladest - 1973)

Jennie, John and Sister Suzie say that I've been bad
Now I don't know what they're talking about
But our dady sure is mad
I can't understand it why they're getting so uptight
I don't think I'll sick around here
I ain't looking for a fight.

[Chorus]
Wild winds are blowing
Rivers keep on flowing
So I'd better get going to try to leave it all behind
Wild winds are blowing
Rivers keep on flowing
So I'd better get going to get a little peace of mind.

My brother keeps on calling 'round
To see what I intend
But I ain't never in when he calls
It's sad to lose a friend
I bought myself a ticket
But I don't wanna leave this town
And there's a lot of people right here
Who don't want me around.

[Chorus]

I heared her uncle Sammy
He's polishing his gun
I don't like the look on his face
So I think I'd better run
I better get on a greyhound bus
Before her folks arrive
'Cause I am just a young man
And I wanta stay alive.

[Chorus]

Wild winds are blowing yeah
Wild winds are blowing yeah
Wild winds are blowing yeah
Wild winds are blowing yeah.
