Ride the Wind

Some cold morning when the last long shift is through
I'll ride the wind
Past the water tower, past the ridge, into the blue
I'll ride the wind

I'll ride the wind, sweet glory
I'll ride the wind come morning
When my heart gives out, hallelujah, one day soon
I'll ride the wind

Just a few more aching weeks and one more winter through
I'll ride the wind
To a house where nothing's owed and nothing's due
I'll ride the wind

I'll ride the wind, sweet glory
I'll ride the wind come morning
When my heart gives out, hallelujah, one day soon
I'll ride the wind

They can keep the keys, the mortgage and the pay
I'll ride the wind
Let 'em call my name, I won't be here to stay
I'll ride the wind

I been down in the hollow where the sun don't reach the floor
I'll ride the wind
Kept a lamp lit forty years beside a shut and swollen door
I'll ride the wind

Crows in the sourwood, frost on the stone
Kin in the churchyard calling me home
Water runs black where the mine come through
I'll ride the wind, I'll ride the wind

I'll ride the wind, sweet glory
I'll ride the wind come morning
When my heart gives out, hallelujah, one day soon
I'll ride the wind

When my heart gives out, hallelujah, one day soon
I'll ride the wind
I'll ride the wind
