(Winsley/Saker)
Jennie, John and Sister Suzie say that I´ve been bad
Now I don´t know what they´re talkin´ about
But our dady sure is mad
I can´t understand it why they´re getting so uptight
I don´t think I´ll sick around here
I ain´t lookin´ for a fight.

Chorus
Wild winds are blowin´
Rivers keep on flowin´
So I´d better get going to try to leave it all behind
Wild winds are blowin´
Rivers keep on flowin´
So I´d better get going to get a little peace of mind.

My brother keeps on callin´ ´round
To see what I intend
But I ain´t never in when he calls
It´s sad to lose a friend
I bought myself a ticket
But I don´t wanna leave this town
And there´s a lot of people right here
Who don´t want me around.

Chorus

I heared her uncle Sammy
He´s polishin´ his gun
I don´t like the look on his face
So I think I´d better run
I better get on a greyhound bus
Before her folks arrive
´Cause I am just a young man
And I wanta stay alive.

Chorus

Wild winds are blowin´ yeah
Wild winds are blowin´ yeah
Wild winds are blowin´ yeah
Wild winds are blowin´ yeah.
