Lyrics to a song I wrote 40+ years ago- my tribute to "wind"
When Daddy left home I was just a kid
I can't recall exactly what he did
But I can remember just as plain as day, the smile on my Daddy's face
It was the smile of a man born free, free as a west Texas breeze
I know that I started in right then, wanting to be a west Texas wind
I wanted to come and go as I please, do what I wanted to do
And mama knew as I grew older, what, I was up to.
She begged me to stay at home with her, begged me to stay in school
But I knew that I couldn't stay anymore, so I kissed her goodbye as I headed for the door
With a smile on my face of a man born free, free as a west Texas breeze
To do what I wanted to do, to come and go as I please, to come and go as I please
