Whistle Down the Wind Joan Baez

I grew up here for all of my life
But I dreamed someday I'd go
Where blue eyed girls and red guitars
And the naked rivers flow

I'm not all I thought I'd be
I've always stayed around
And I've been as far as Mercy and Grand
Frozen to the ground

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

Buses at the corner
Clock on the wall
Broken down windmill
Ain't no wind at all

I've yelled and I've cursed
If I stay here I'll rust
I'm stuck like a shipwreck
Out here in the dust

The sky is red, and the world is on fire
And the corn is taller than me
And the dog is tied to a wagon of rain
And the road is wet as the sea
