Wild Blue Wind

[Verse 1]

Ain't no telling where he goes

Out through a hole in his mind, I suppose

Forgets to hold that pretty girl close

Forgets he is a friend of mine

Never does call his mama and them

Never does make any holiday plans

Takes a road no one's ever been

Ends up where it wants

[Chorus]

He's gone out into the wild blue wind

Crazy again

He's gone out into the wild blue wind

Crazy again

[Verse 2]

Seen him down there on 21st and Rose

Trying to keep the wind from the seams of his clothes

I wouldn't say it's the life he chose

But, man, it's got a hold of him

Waitin' on the corner for his next big break

Cussin' all the drugs they can't make him take

He asks me if he's gonna be okay

I say, "Sure," but I can't say when

[Chorus]

He's gone out into the wild blue wind

Crazy again

He's gone out into the wild blue wind

Crazy again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Remember back when the dream was alive

Thought he stood a chance of turnin' right

There was little brown babies ridin' little red bikes

You and him were holding hands

Now he don't pick up 'cause they got in his phone

He's terrified of bein' alone

Used to have faith on a long thin rope

Now it seems you're gettin' towards the end

[Chorus]

He's gone out into the wild blue wind

Crazy again

He's gone out into the wild blue wind

Crazy again

He's gone out into the wild blue wind

Crazy again

He's gone out into the wild blue wind

Crazy again
