Verse
I grew up here all of my life
But I dreamed some day I'd go
Where the blue-eyed girls and the red guitars and
The naked rivers flow
I'm not all I thought I'd be
I've always stayed around
And I've been as far as Mercy and Grand
Frozen to the ground
I can't stay here and I'm scared to leave
So kiss me once and then
I'll go to hell, I might as well
Be whistlin' down the wind
Break
The bus is at the corner
Clock on the wall
Broken down windmill
And no wind at all
I've yelled and I cursed
If I stay here I'll rust
I'm stuck like a shipwreck
Out here in the dust
Instrumental
The sky is red and the world's on fire
And the corn is taller than me
And the dog is tied to a wagon of rain
And the road is wet as the sea
Sometimes the music from a dance
Will carry across the plains
Places I've been dreaming of
Dream only of your face
There are places where they never sleep
And the circus never ends
So I will take the Marleybone coach
And be whistling down the wind
So I will take the Marleybone coach
And be whistling down the wind
