Like A Straw In The Wind

Like a straw in the wind

I go whirling around

Like a bird who's just learnin' to fly

Feet are not on the ground

Drift from pillar to post

So helplessly

What wanted the most

Winds up a ghostly memory

My man is gone

And when  your man is gone

Your world just falls apart

Hmm...  nothing  you try to do

Helps you to comfort your heart

Don't yo' heart get all the bricks

Where your hopes come unpinned

Trouble steps in and make

You feel like a straw in the wind

Like a straw in the wind

Free and easy

That's  my  style

I go whirling around

Howdy-do me?

Watch me smile

Like a bird who's just learned to fly

Fare-the-well me  after a while

Feet are not on the ground

So i gotta roam

Drift from pillar to post

Sweetenin' water

Cherry wine

So  helplessly

Thank you kindly suits me fine

What i wanted the most

Winds up a ghostly memory

My man is gone

And when  your man is gone

Your world just falls apart

So any place i hang my hat is home

Birds roostin' in a tree

Pick up and go

And the goin' proves

That's how it oughta be

I pick up too

When  the  spirit moves me

Cross the river, run the bend

Howdy stranger?

So long friend

There is a voice in the lonesome wind

I hear  a-whisperin' roam

I'm goin' where a welcome mat is,

No matter where that is...

Cause any place i hang my hat is home!
