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
