Lyrics

Just Me and the Wind
by Crawford Hurst & Nick Coleman

I heard small town sirens
the weather got bad
and the banks all closed down
with what money they had
so I sat on the street
watched a cold storm roll in
Main Street was empty
just me and the wind

Well the sheriff he pulled by
said he had a place I could stay
well I'd fell for that once
and I wasn't gonna today
so I grabbed up my bags
as the whole sky grew dim
Main Street was empty
just me and the wind

Right across the street
from the co-op there's a bar
so I went in for a drink
heard an old man play the guitar
he sang a murder ballad
as the door swung open again
but no one came inside
just me and the wind

Well I emptied my glass
went outside for a smoke
the street lamps were flashing
just like lightning bolts
as I nursed my cigarette
I saw dark clouds descend
Main Street still empty
just me and the wind

Well I thanked the old man
for the songs that he sang
headed off for the station
heard the whimper of a train
said goodbye to Iola
I'll probably never see her again
her streets are still empty
just me and the wind
