Get in the car she said and drive me into next week I should have turned her down, blame my curious streak I never dreamt that we'd be driving into trouble Until we hit a rock that bent my nose double
I'd say we both were on run, run, run She looked too fresh for twenty-one, one, one She slipped her little hand in mine, mine, mine Said I'll take you where the wind don't whine, whine I'll take you where the wind don't whine
Ah the wheels were moaning, we were heading ninety-five The rain was beating down, my engine was alive The roads were empty as the day turned into night With every street lamp her face shone white
I asked her name and she just smiled, smiled, smiled We must have clocked a thousand miles, miles, miles She said we'll be there in a while, while, while I'll take you where the wind don't whine, whine I'll take you where the wind don't whine
I was feeling weary when the car died on me I pulled her over and the strength just drained from me The price of running's getting dearer and dearer And nothing ever seems to get nearer and nearer
I suppose I didn't make the grade, grade, grade When I looked around she'd slipped away, 'way, 'way Out in the night you'll see her shine, shine, shine Waiting where the wind don't whine, whine Waiting where the wind don't whine, whine Waiting where the wind don't whine
