Lyrics
Small Town Wind As performed by Maxine MacLeod The wind is blowing by and it rattles the barn door jingling the chains on the wall the kids are coming home from the big town tomorrow they'll be dancing in a small town hall talkin' on and on about the big town night life all the children listen with delight when they're old enough they're gonna go there and return when that wind blows by. The tide is coming in with the wash and the driftwood lovers holding hands along the shore remember when we used to go there? til one day came we didn't go anymore bought a train ticket with the money we'd saved not knowin' when we'd come this way again but every mother knew like I now we'd return when that tide came in Oh that breeze may blow right through you with a breath you recognize some strange deja vu frustration that you're stuck with through this life there are rooms and there are cages there are diamonds in that hole but we all fall to our places I guess that's what brought me home So now I think about tomorrow like I always do while picking up the toys around the house and wonder how I ended up here when the girls I grew up with are long gone now maybe they got married in a big town church maybe they're not happy with their lives I suppose it doesn't matter when your heart's immune to the song of that wind blowing by The wind is blowing by and it rattles the barn door jingling the chains on the wall the kids are coming home from the big town tomorrow they'll be dancing in a small town hall talkin' on and on about the big town night life all the children listen with delight when they're old enough they're gonna go there and return when that wind blows by. And if they do good they might return in September but money doesn't always rule a life especially if you live in our town here where that wind blows by especially if you live in our town here where that wind blows by
