Let The Wind Carry Me Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

Papa's faith is people 

Mama she believes in cleaning 

Papa's faith is in people 

Mama she's always cleaning 

Papa brought home the sugar 

Mama taught me the deeper meaning 

She don't like my kick pleat skirt 

She don't like my eyelids painted green 

She don't like me staying up late 

In my high-heeled shoes 

Living for that rock'n'roll dancing scene 

Papa says "Leave the girl alone, Mother 

She's looking like a movie queen" 

Mama thinks she spoiled me 

Papa knows somehow he set me free 

Mama thinks she spoiled me rotten 

She blames herself 

But papa he blesses me 

It's a rough road to travel 

Mama let go now 

It's always called for me 

Sometimes I get that feeling 

And I wanna settle 

And raise a child up with somebody 

I get that strong longing 

And I wanna settle 

And raise a child up with somebody 

But it passes like the summer 

I'm a wild seed again 

Let the wind carry me
