Waimanalo Blues

Wind's gonna blow, so I'm gonna go Down on the road again Starting where the mountains left me I'm up where I began Where I will go, the wind only knows Good times around the bend Get in my car, goin' too far Never comin' back again Tired and worn, I woke up this mornin' Found that I was confused Spun right around and found I had lost The things that I couldn't lose The beaches they sell to build their hotels My father's and I once knew Birds all along sunlight at dawn Singing Waimanalo blues Down on the road with mountains so old Far on the country side Birds on the wing forget in a while So I'm headed for the windward side All of your dreams, sometimes it just seems That I'm just along for the ride Some they will cry because they have pride For someone who's loved here died The beaches they sell to build their hotels My father's and I once knew Birds all along sunlight at dawn Singing Waimanalo blues
