Where the Wind Don’t Whine Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
"Get in the car," she said, "and drive me into next week"
I should have turned her down, blame my curious streak
I never dreamt that we'd be driving into trouble
Until we hit a rock that bent my nose double

[Chorus 1]
I'd say we both were on the run, run, run
She looked too fresh for twenty-one, one, one
She slipped her little hand in mine, mine, mine
Said, "I'll take you where the wind don't whine, whine
I'll take you where the wind don't whine"

[Verse 2]
The wheels were moaning, we were hitting ninety-five
The rain was beating down, my engine was alive
The roads were empty as the day turned into night
With every street lamp her face shone white

[Chorus 2]
I asked her name and she just smiled, smiled, smiled
We must have clocked a thousand miles, miles, miles
She said, "We'll be there in a while, while, while
I'll take you where the wind don't whine, whine
I'll take you where the wind don't whine"
