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
