Winds of Change

Lyrics

Dust devils dancin' Across the Alabama hillside That storm was brewing Out on the Dixie skyline The sky grew black as coal In the middle of the day My great-granddaddy watched As his house was blown away Winds of change came calling Hit them without warning The foundation was all that remained Everything else was carried away Carried away I was in the Windy City Good Friday, 1982 We were sittin' pretty Cooking steaks on the barbecue Two thousand miles of telephone wire Brought word of the tragedy My daddy's heart lay silent now He had been taken, taken from me He was carried away Winds of change came calling They hit them without warning That foundation was all that remained Everything else was carried, carried away Winds of change come calling Hit us without warning Let all we need be all that remains Let everything else be carried away Winds of change come calling Hit us without warning Let our foundation be all that remains Let everything else be carried, carried away Winds of change come calling Hit us without warning Winds of change come calling Carried away Carried away
