Broke down in a one horse town
Tryin’ to get the money up to get a ride
I spent four days and a week’s pay
Tryin’ to figure out how to get away and leave it behind
Before I loose my mind

You know I can’t wait to hit the interstate
Put the peddle down and open up the gate

I was born in a high high wind
I’ve been blowin’ around ever since

I had good job punchin’ the clock
Making fourteen and a quarter in the union shop
I liked the pay, but I couldn’t stay
I heard that highway callin’ and I had to get away
Ain’t no roots On these cowboy boots

One night I took a ride
And watched the city limits fading out of sight

I was born in a high high wind
I’ve been blowin’ around ever since

I travel light, rollin’ through the night
Got my top down, got my engine right

I was born in a high high wind
I’ve been blowin’ around ever since

(REPEAT)

It’s easy looking back but hard to understand
How the years can go so fast and slip right through your hand
Changing times and changing dreams
Can’t help but wonder where we’d be

If we knew then what we know now
We could have turned the world upside down
We were reckless, young and proud
We had the whole thing figured out

We never saw the writing on the wall
Even though we thought we knew it all
Oh my friend, if we knew then what we know now

We tried to touch the stars burned a million miles of ground
We always went to far and never would back down
Oh, life is a chance you take
And live and die by choices you make

If we knew then what we know now
We could have turned the world upside down
We were reckless, young and proud
We had the whole thing figured out

We never saw the writing on the wall
Even though we thought we knew it all
Oh my friend, if we knew then what we know now

Oh my friend, if we knew then what we know now

We said our goodbyes, ah, the night before.
Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before.
Now today I find you have changed your mind.
Treat me like you did the night before.

Were you telling lies, ah, the night before?
Was I so unwise, ah, the night before?
When I held you near you were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before.

Last night is a night I will remember you by.
When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry.

We said our goodbye, ah, the night before.
Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before.
Now today I find you have changed your mind.
Treat me like you did the night before.

When I held you near you were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before.

Last night is a night I will remember you by.
When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry.

Were you telling lies, ah, the night before?
Was I so unwise, ah, the night before?
When I held you near you were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before,
like the night before.
