I could say see you later
But I'll just go with goodbye
Sure has been a nice night
But it’s time for me to drive
Before I go I'll tell you
Something 'bout this heart of mine
My hometown was a back seat
Looking out at highway signs
I'm a child of the wind
Always coming through and taking off again
Everybody's temporary friend
I'm a child of the wind
On the road in California
With the windows all rolled down
I'm driving by myself
But I've got a friend in every town
Sure, I might get lonesome
When the desert turns to night
But just like every new kid knows
Looking out at highway signs
I'm a child of the wind
Always coming through and taking off again
Everybody's temporary friend
I'm a child of the wind
Don’t need time to heal a broken heart
When most things end before they even start
Everybody’s temporary friend
I'm a child of the wind
I'm a child of the wind
I'm a child of the wind
