Waimanalo Blues Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

Wind's gonna blow, so I'm gonna go 

Down on the road again 

Starting where the mountains left me 

I'm up where I began 

Where I will go, the wind only knows 

Good times around the bend 

Get in my car, goin' too far 

Never comin' back again 

Tired and worn, I woke up this mornin' 

Found that I was confused 

Spun right around and found I had lost 

The things that I couldn't lose 

The beaches they sell to build their hotels 

My father's and I once knew 

Birds all along sunlight at dawn 

Singing Waimanalo blues 

Down on the road with mountains so old 

Far on the country side 

Birds on the wing forget in a while 

So I'm headed for the windward side 

All of your dreams, sometimes it just seems 

That I'm just along for the ride 

Some they will cry because they have pride 

For someone who's loved here died 

The beaches they sell to build their hotels 

My father's and I once knew 

Birds all along sunlight at dawn 

Singing Waimanalo blues
