(Winsley/Saker)
Jennie, John and Sister Suzie say that I've been bad
Now I don't know what they're talkin' about
But our dady sure is mad
I can't understand it why they're getting so uptight
I don't think I'll sick around here
I ain't lookin' for a fight.
Chorus
Wild winds are blowin'
Rivers keep on flowin'
So I'd better get going to try to leave it all behind
Wild winds are blowin'
Rivers keep on flowin'
So I'd better get going to get a little peace of mind.
My brother keeps on callin' 'round
To see what I intend
But I ain't never in when he calls
It's sad to lose a friend
I bought myself a ticket
But I don't wanna leave this town
And there's a lot of people right here
Who don't want me around.
Chorus
I heared her uncle Sammy
He's polishin' his gun
I don't like the look on his face
So I think I'd better run
I better get on a greyhound bus
Before her folks arrive
'Cause I am just a young man
And I wanta stay alive.
Chorus
Wild winds are blowin' yeah
Wild winds are blowin' yeah
Wild winds are blowin' yeah
Wild winds are blowin' yeah.
