Lyrics
Sun came shining early in the morning upon my face
There's nothing in this world that can take its place.
I lie alone on the plain between the trees
With blankets on my head and over my knees.
No, I can't settle down I haven't got a home
Ridin' the wind all alone and on my own.
Tthe road is dirty and too long without a friend
To help me along this endless dead end.
I play my guitar 'til my fingers start to bleed
And hope that someday I may succeed.
No, I can't settle down I haven't got a home
Ridin' the wind all alone and on my own.
Windmills start turning as the gentle breeze flows by
As all the drifters meet again to cry.
Each with his own story and each with his sighs
A gathering of exiles drifting by.
No, I can't settle down I haven't got a home
Ridin' the wind all alone and on my own.
