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
