Broke down in a one horse town

Tryin' to get the money up to get a ride

I spent four days and a week's pay

Tryin' to figure out how to get away and leave it behind

Before I loose my mind



You know I can't wait to hit the interstate

Put the peddle down and open up the gate



I was born in a high high wind

I've been blowin' around ever since



I had good job punchin' the clock

Making fourteen and a quarter in the union shop

I liked the pay, but I couldn't stay

I heard that highway callin' and I had to get away 

Ain't no roots On these cowboy boots



One night I took a ride

And watched the city limits fading out of sight



I was born in a high high wind

I've been blowin' around ever since



I travel light, rollin' through the night

Got my top down, got my engine right



I was born in a high high wind

I've been blowin' around ever since



(REPEAT)
