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.
