Let The Wind Carry Me (2022 Remaster)

[Verse 1]

Papa's faith is people

Mama, she believes in cleaning

Papa's faith is in people

Mama, she's always cleaning

Papa brought home the sugar

Mama taught me the deeper meaning

[Verse 2]

She don't like my kick pleat skirt

She don't like my eyelids painted green

She don't like me staying up late in my high-heeled shoes

Living for that rock 'n' roll dancing scene

Papa says, "Leave the girl alone, Mother

She's looking like a movie queen"

[Verse 3]

Mama thinks she spoilt me

Papa knows somehow he set me free

Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten

She blames herself but Papa, he blesses me

It's a rough road to travel

Mama let go now, it's always called for me

[Verse 4]

Sometimes I get that feeling

And I want to settle and raise a child up with somebody

I get that strong longing

And I want to settle and raise a child up with somebody

But it passes like the summer

I'm a wild seed again, let the wind carry me
