Joe Ely - Wind's Gonna Blow You Away Lyrics

Well, it's cheek to cheek and it's face to face
If I told ya once, I told ya twice
East is east, west is west
Fire is fire an' ice is ice

That wind's gonna blow tomorrow
Just like it blow'd today
But someday when your bones turn to dust
That wind's gonna blow you away

In the pale moonlight, in the cold campfire light
I have danced in burnin' coals
Well, it ruined my shoes but it cured my blues
All I wanted was to soothe my soul, and

That wind's gonna blow tomorrow
Just like it blow'd today
But someday when your bones turn to dust
That wind's gonna blow you away

Now, mistakes are all right if you make them yourself
But they ain't worth a damn if they're not your own
You can sing the blues, you can read the news
You can dance off in the dark all alone, but

That wind's gonna blow tomorrow
Just like it blow'd today
But someday when your bones turn to dust
That wind's gonna blow you away

From the piney woods to the great south plains
From the Red River to the Rio Grande
I have crossed some streams, I have lost some dreams
I've seen that golden circle in the sand
