Lyrics
Ride On the Wind
Out in the country I can enjoy being alone
Down in the city I stay too close to the phone
The sun comes up each morning an appointment that it must keep
And then it ducks behind a cloud and lets me get some sleep
But you can?t ride on the wind if you cannot pay the fare
It takes a whole lot of money just to get up into the air
Seems like the only way to be happy is to be unaware
And that living in peace is another way of saying that you don?t care
Well New York City sure ain?t pretty but it?s real
And the west coast has its moments it just depends on how you feel
But I?ve made a home with Isabel and its somewhere in between
And she gives me everything I need and knows just what I mean
But you can?t ride on the wind if you cannot pay the fare
It takes a whole lot of money just to get up into the air
Seems like the only way to be happy is to be unaware
And that living in peace is another way of saying that you don?t care
Well I left my home when I was seventeen
And I was looking for things that no one had ever seen
But the more I look outside myself the more I realize
That whenever I see something new its coming from inside
But you can?t ride on the wind if you cannot pay the fare
It takes a whole lot of money just to get up into the air
Seems like the only way to be happy is to be unaware
And that living in peace is another way of saying that you don?t care
