Song Description

Its better to strike out on your own and take your best shot at the world, and perhaps have to settle than to have neer to ventured out into the world

Lyrics

Well I remember late one night
I hopped me a train outta Tucson, Arizona.
I was riding in the midnight wind and every place that I?ve been
I wish I coulda shown ya.
I remember Tommy telling me
it?s a big wide world gonna get you some.
Dont matter which way you go
when you got a thousand miles of real estate to choose from

Well the winds of change keep blowin
Roll you like a tumbleweed
Show you things that you coulda never known
When you turn your back into the wind
Light up that last cigarette
And remember what you left back home.

Don?t you know that the longer I go
The further I get
The farther I see
Sometimes you gotta take that chance
And dance that dance before you settle for what?s in between
Hey sissy go tell your momma
that I?ll be comin back for you someday
When you hear me blowing my horn you better pack your bags
We?ll be on our way

Well the winds of change keep blowin
Roll you like a tumbleweed
Show you things that you coulda never known
When you turn your back into the wind
Light up that last cigarette
Keep rememberin? that you?re not alone

Well I remember late one night
I was racing that train back to Tucson, Arizona
I crossed the tracks in the pourin rain
When I heard that engine and its whistle blowin
Hey sissy go tell your momma
That we?re burning up the daylight every minute we stay
She ought to know that you?re better off chasin some rainbow
Than sittin round here until your dying day

Well the winds of change keep blowin
Roll you like a tumbleweed
Show you things that you coulda never shown
When you turn your back into the wind
Settle for what is in between
Maybe someday we can call it our own

Home sweet home.
