What I'd Give To Be The Wind Lyrics - Roger Miller

I watch the wind blow brown leaves to the ground 

And blow along the sidewalks of this town 

I can see the wind as it blew her hair time and time again 

Oh, what I'd give, Lord, to be the wind 

Oh, what I'd give to be the wind 

To be free to leave this awful place I'm in 

It's hopeless 'cause I haven't got a penny or a friend 

Oh, what I'd give, Lord, to be the wind 

This same wind tomorrow will be gone 

To blow across the cotton fields of home 

It will gently touch the lovely face I long to touch again 

Oh, what I'd give, Lord, to be the wind 

Oh, what I'd give to be the wind 

To be free to leave this awful place I'm in 

It's hopeless 'cause I haven't got a penny or a friend 

Oh, what I'd give, Lord, to be the wind
