Catch The Wind

Along this dusty old road
Where dreams lie shattered like the glass
We carry our burdens and our woes
Looking for that promise land

I buried mama in the graveyard
And daddy died in jail
My best friend took enough pills
To kill a big ol’ whale

Chorus:
But, I’m gonna try and catch the wind
Though it slips through my fingers
Gonna try again
Oh, I’m gonna try and catch the wind

My daddy was a hero
He flew a B-17
He came home from the war, fell in love and he got married
Then he drank away all of his dreams

Chorus:
But, I’m gonna try and catch the wind
Though it slips through my fingers
Gonna do it for him
Oh, I’m gonna try and catch the wind

Well, I never climbed that mountain
I never walked that valley floor
Mostly, I walked around in circles
But I ain’t gonna do that anymore

Chorus:
‘Cause I’m gonna try and catch the wind
Though it slips through my fingers
Gonna try again
Oh, I’m gonna try and catch the wind
