I heard from frankie there's trouble at his place On highway 95 the police they gave me chase I was with his sister i hadn't seen a thing They had an apb just to bring me in * oh, i had jenny by my side Oh, she never told me that she'd lied ** if that's the way (that) our love goes I'll take my chances with you i know And we'll go the way the wild wind blows I wasn't gonna stop they'd have to catch me first And as i ran the red i heard the gunfire burst Across three counties chasin' me for days
But judge i didn't know that she was under age * repeat [instrumental] Well the judge he was generous and gave me a rest Of eighteen months in the county's best And i got a visit from jenny yesterday By the time i'm out everything will be ok * repeat ** repeat She gave me one look You could see it in her eyes And we'll go the way the wild wind blows *** and while i'm away dream of dreams That what we had no one had seen Because we go the way the wild wind blows *** repeat and fade
