There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
   just as fast as my feet can fly
   come away come away
   if you're going
   leave the sinkin' ship behind
  
   Come on the risin' wind
   we're goin' up around the bend
  
   Bring a song and a smile for the banjo
   better get while the gettin's good
   hitch a ride to the end of the highway
   where the neons turn to wood
  
   Come on the risin' wind
   we're goin' up around the bend
  
   you can ponder perpetual motion
   fix your mind on a chrystal day
   always time for a good conversation
   there's an ear for what you say
  
   Come on the risin' wind
   we're goin' up around the bend
  
   (Instrumental)
  
   catch a ride to the end of the highway
   and we'll meet by the big red tree
   there's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
   Come along, come along with me
  
   Come on the risin' wind
   we're goin' up around the bend
  
   (DU-DU-DUHUHU-DU-DU)
   (Instrumental)
