Twistin' In The Wind Lyrics - Joe Ely

My heavy heart pounds hard tonight down this highway in the wind 

The windshield wipers clean away the tears I cry within 

The love I've thrown away, I know I'll never feel again 

And I, I'm just twistin' in the wind 

Some one cut me down from here 

I can't prove what don't exist 

Did you feel the same as I? 

Or was there something I might have missed? 

I turned my back on everyone who wanted me to win 

I needed you so bad, I guess 

That's the way that I was back then 

Now I, I'm just twistin' in the wind 

I believe I'll go down to the bridge and watch the trains roll by 

See the sparks fly from their wheels where the rocks and the cinders lie 

The weight I feel inside tonight could put a freight train in a spin 

And I, I'm just twistin' in the wind 

Some one cut me down from here 

I can't prove what don't exist 

Did you feel the same as I? 

Or was there something I might have missed? 

I turned my back on everyone who wanted me to win 

I needed you so bad, I guess 

That's the way that I was back then 

Now I, I'm just twistin' in the wind 

And love has made a fool of me at the gates of guillotine 

I can't believe I heard the truth comin' from your answering machine 

How did I become this broken man, was I too blind to bend? 

Now I, I'm just twistin' in the wind, I, I'm just twistin' in the wind, I, I 

Some one cut me down from here 

I been hangin' here too long 

Release me from the binds of love 

I can't tell right from wrong, I, I
