Born a ba*tard child in New Orleans To a woman I've never seen I don't know if she ever held me All I know is she let go of me So I pa**ed through like thunder I pa**ed through like rain Pa**ed out from under Goodbye could've been my family name Every time I settle down it happens I get a restless feeling I can't control I hit the wall then I hit the highway I've got the curse of a gypsy on my soul So I move through like thunder I move through like rain Moving out from under Goodbye could've been my family name I can't break free of the winds that blow me
They roll in like a Gulf Coast Hurricane I'd like to stay now but I don't know how Hold me, honey, till I'm gone again When it's time to leave forever I pray the Lord, don't take me slow I don't know where I'm going Just let me say goodbye and go And I'll push through like thunder I'll push through like rain Pushed out from under Goodbye could've been my family name I'll push through like thunder I'll push through like rain Pushed out from under Goodbye could've been my family name Goodbye could've been my family name Goodbye could've been my family name
