The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I met a girl on a farm

we started carrying on

late at night

She said honey

"Won't you stay?"

And I said

"Baby that just ain't the way I live!"

I had this girl in the South

She said "You got a big mouth"

And that ain't right

Well I'm no saint

but I ain't bad

I'm too busy baby

just loving the life I have!

Oh yeah!

And I'd stay but I gotta move on

I ride the wind and I'm gone

Oh

I'm ready to go!

I got nineteen women

on my mind

I got six lives left

'cause I've already died three times

But I'm fine

I heard the knock at the door

it was a quarter to four

I heard

"Fie Fye Fo, Fo Fo Fum

I'm young, dumb and ready to come

alive!"

My my!

And I'd stay but I gotta move on

I ride the wind and I'm gone

I ride the wind and I'm gone

I......

this is how I live

this is how I live!

I.......

I got nothing to give

I got noting to give!

I took a seat at the bar

you know it wouldn't be far

Some people came

and then they went

But I ain't leaving till my money is spent

oh no!

oh no!

And I'd stay but I gotta move on

I ride the wind and I'm gone (x2)

And I'd stay but I gotta move on

I ride the wind and I'm gone (x2)

Oh yeah yeah yeah

I ride the wind and I'm gone

I ride the wind and I'm gone
