From the recording Simple
Lyrics
I was born in Southern
Southern Virginia
The girl I am
I was barely breathing
It’s hard to stay in the lines
when they’re moving all the time
So I got out
I come from the howlin’ winds
cruel words fell form their lips
I know you’ve heard them blowin’, blowin’
Said out to California
I got to go now
Where the people on the streets
don’t seem to care
whose hand you hold now
(No, they don't)
Scrapes and bruises
I don’t mind
just need love
some of the time
I know you do too, come on
I said I come from the howlin’ winds
cruel words fell from their lips
I know you’ve heard them blowin’, blowin’
I will not back down
for I am free
I will not give in
I will not bleed
I come from the howlin’ winds
cruel words fell from their lips
I know you’ve heard them blowin’, blowin’
Out and out and out we go
where spirits break
and cruel winds blow
Out and out
and out we go
where spirits break
and cruel winds blow
Will not break down
for I am free, free, free
I will not back down
I will not bleed
I said I come from the howlin’ winds
cruel words fell from their lips
I know you’ve heard them blowin’, blowin’
Blowin'
