I'm goin' where a welcome mat is
I pick up too
I hear a-whisperin' roam
Trouble steps in and make you feel
Nothing you try to do
Birds roostin' in a tree
Kindly suits me fine
Your world just falls apart
No matter where that is
That's my style, I go whirling around
So I gotta roam, drift from pillar to post
There is a voice in the lonesome wind
Like a straw in the wind
That's how it oughta be
Drift from pillar to post, so helplessly
Your world just falls apart
Howdy stranger? So long friend
Where your hopes come unpinned
My man is gone and when your man is gone
Howdy-do me? Watch me smile
So helplessly, thank you
So any place I hang my hat is home
Like a bird who's just learnin' to fly
Helps you to comfort your heart
Don't yo' heart get all the bricks
Feet are not on the ground
Like a bird who's just learned to fly
Fare the well me after a while
Feet are not on the ground
Sweetenin' water, cherry wine
What I wanted the most, winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone and when your man is gone
Pick up and go, and the goin' proves
Cross the river, run the bend
When the spirit moves me
Like a straw in the wind, free and easy
What wanted the most, winds up a ghostly memory
