Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
I'm no cushy first class flight
Fires that help to keep you moving
No closer to my hope and glory
Who knows how high the crow flies
The fires that help to keep you moving
You, you rather have the wealth of kings
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
Rains wash out the fires within
Fires that help to keep you moving
And just for the sake of all these reasons
When two ships pass in the storm?
How come it gets so disturbing
Rains wash out the fires within
I'm a page from the end of the story
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
I can't pretend I was that nice
I'm a day behind your restless wings
And just for the sake of all these reasons
No closer to my hope and glory
I'm no E ticket ride to Disneyland
Or there's no food in the Frigidaire
You don't deserve that treatment
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
Rains wash out the fires within
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
Like when the cupboard is empty
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
And just for the sake of all these reasons
Well mama, just a kick away, just a kick away
I'm a page from the end of the story
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
Who knows where this refugee was born
Me, I'd rather be on the heels of the wind
