Whistle Down the Wind Tom Waits

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

Now I'm not all I thought I'd be
I've always stayed around
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

Bus is at the corner
The clock on the wall
A broken-down windmill
Ain't no wind at all

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

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