As long as the wind blows
No one can ever hold the wind So don't waste your time a-holding on to me Just let me love and I'll be gone again For there's one thing little girl that you must see As long as the wind blows, as long as the river flows As long as train whistle screams As long as a wind goose flies, as the flood tides rise There's just no way of holding me Me this chain gang can never hold A man with such a wandering restless soul Just turn your back and that's the last time that you will see This old wandering boy from Tennessee * Refrain Mama it's so good to be back home It's not right for you and Papa to be here alone But listen to that late evening train Well I could of swore I heard it call my name * Refrain
