1. There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
just as fast as my feet can fly.
Come away, come away if you're goin',
leave the sinkin' ship behind.

R: C'mon the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend. Whoooh.

2. Bring a song and a smile for the banjo,
better get while the gettin's good.
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
where the neons turn to wood.

R: C'mon the risin' wind...

3. You can ponder perpetual motion,
fiz your mind for a crystal day.
Always time for a good conversation,
there's an ear for what you say.

R: C'mon the risin' wind...

4. Catch a ride to the end of the highway
and we'll meet by the big red tree.
There's a plca up ahead and I'm goin',
come along, come along with me.

R: C'mon the risin' wind...
