I was born in the badlands, honey Strange place for a boy to drown Spent my days on a mountain, baby 12 miles north of Sofiatown
You've been gone away – I've been riding around Running out the days – writing out a song On my daddy's guitar Did you find your way? Skip another town? Said I couldn't stay but it's different now Yippee ki yi yay – I'm always down For hanging around
Left to borrow, gone tomorrow Maybe there ain't a trail to follow Better off alone if you ask me Travel lucky, Kawasaki Maybe next time I'll take you with me And I still hear the sound The wind come up – Kalahari down Kalahari down
Polishing your whip – never drove it far Circling the veld – spitting in the jar On your daddy's farm You'd say you're afraid, tell me not to frown L'o play a song, you'd dance around Yippee yo ki yay – we'd hit the ground Still tumbling down
What do I know? A buncha sorrow Promises of a desperado Through the rusty sky I feel the breeze Where do we go? Mendocino? Maybe someday you'll get to see all The places that Torino's never been And I still hear the sound Wind come up – Kalahari down Kalahari down
Left to roam on a reckless wander Raising sand on the setting sun Keep an eye on that dusty highway Tell my mother I'm nearly done And I still hear the sound Wind come up – Kalahari down Kalahari downTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
