The wind has come to take me down a notch, A peg, or a level or two The swollen moon has got Her sights set on me too
The devil sun gonna take me higher Higher than I ever been before I told my mama, no I can’t take no more I can’t take no more
The wind has come to take me down To the empty farm where I grew up on the land I build this childhood for a boy With my own two hands
I look around, them bony trees And sunken cows, there’s almost snow Nobody knows nothing Except what me and the crow do know
Who am I to change my life? Who am I to fuck with form? Who am I to weather a storm? But I go slow I said goodbye to everyone I know And one morning I awoke And I was this guy named Joe
The wind has come to take me down to the field To dream by the light of the moon No, there ain’t no coming home, No going back, skipping June
I sit by the water down by the freeway The cotton is hot and the corn is high Don’t know what I’m going to do With myself tonight
Who am I to change my name? Some things will always stay the same There really ain’t no one to blame Can’t expect nobody to live in that pain But I know you miss me so I said goodbye to everyone I know And one morning I awoke And I was this guy named Joe
