Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I grew up here, all of my life And I dreamed someday I'd go Where the blue-eyed girls and red guitars And the naked rivers flow [Verse 2] Now I'm not all I thought I'd be I've always stayed around I've been as far as Mercy and Grand Frozen to the ground [Verse 3] Well, 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 [Verse 4] Bus is at the corner The clock on the wall A brokеn-down windmill Ain't no wind at all [Verse 5] Well, I yelled and I cursеd If I stay here, I'll rust And I'm stuck like a shipwreck Out here in the dust [Instrumental Break] [Verse 6] Well, the sky is red and the world is on fire And the corn is taller than me And a dog is tied to a wagon of rain And the road is wet as the sea [Verse 7] But sometimes the music from a dance Will carry across the plains And the places that I'm dreaming of Do they dream only of me? [Verse 8] There are places where they never sleep And the circus never ends So I will take the Marley Bone Coach And be whistlin' down the wind [Outro] So I will take the Marley Bone Coach And be whistlin' down the wind
