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 Come on, the risin' wind We're goin' up around the bend 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 Come on, the risin' wind We're goin' up around the bend You can ponder perpetual motion Fix your mind on a crystal day Always time for a good conversation There's an era for what you say Come on the risin' wind We're goin' up around the bend, yeah Hitch a ride to the end of the highway And we'll meet by the big red tree There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' Come along, come along with me Come on the risin' wind We're goin' up around the bend
