Intro Verse I grew up here all of my life But I dreamed some day I'd go Where the blue-eyed girls and the red guitars and The naked rivers flow I'm not all I thought I'd be I've always stayed around And I've been as far as Mercy and Grand Frozen to the ground I can't stay here and I'm scared to leave So kiss me once and then I'll go to hell, I might as well Be whistlin' down the wind Break The bus is at the corner Clock on the wall Broken down windmill And no wind at all I've yelled and I cursed If I stay here I'll rust I'm stuck like a shipwreck Out here in the dust Instrumental The sky is red and the world's on fire And the corn is taller than me And the dog is tied to a wagon of rain And the road is wet as the sea Sometimes the music from a dance Will carry across the plains Places I've been dreaming of Dream only of your face There are places where they never sleep And the circus never ends So I will take the Marleybone coach And be whistling down the wind So I will take the Marleybone coach And be whistling down the wind Outro
