Hey, I was born on a windy day
Saw the wind blow my pappy away
Mama cussed and began to cry
She said, I see your daddy's eye
Preacher come a -knockin' on our door
Said, I seen his kind before
Well, ain't no heart just a big black hole
A boy is born with a wandering soul
I've got a wandering soul
I've got a wandering soul
Someday I'll settle down,
Start a school, learn to read and write
Somehow I knew that I had to go
Anywhere that the wind would blow
Chopped a train every lickin' back
Sleddin' barns and railroad tracks
Cause I was born with a wonderin' soul
Only one true friend I got
It's the wind and it blows a lot
Gives me wings when I need to fly
Brings me down when I'm way up high
But I know, I know my time will come
Someday I'll face my setting sun
All I want's written on my stone
Here lies a boy with a wandering soul
I lay, I lay, I got a wanderin' soul,
Some day I'll settle down
