I met a girl on a farm
we started carrying on
late at night
She said honey
"Won't you stay?"
And I said
"Baby that just ain't the way I live!"

I had this girl in the South
She said "You got a big mouth"
And that ain't right
Well I'm no saint
but I ain't bad
I'm too busy baby
just loving the life I have!
Oh yeah!

And I'd stay but I gotta move on
I ride the wind and I'm gone

Oh
I'm ready to go!
I got nineteen women
on my mind
I got six lives left
'cause I've already died three times
But I'm fine

I heard the knock at the door
it was a quarter to four
I heard
"Fie Fye Fo, Fo Fo Fum
I'm young, dumb and ready to come
alive!"
My my!

And I'd stay but I gotta move on
I ride the wind and I'm gone
I ride the wind and I'm gone

this is how I live
this is how I live!

I got nothing to give
I got noting to give!

I took a seat at the bar
you know it wouldn't be far
Some people came
and then they went
But I ain't leaving till my money is spent
oh no!
oh no!

And I'd stay but I gotta move on
I ride the wind and I'm gone (x2)
And I'd stay but I gotta move on
I ride the wind and I'm gone (x2)
Oh yeah yeah yeah
I ride the wind and I'm gone
I ride the wind and I'm gone
