Wind's going to blow
So I'm going to go
Down on the road again
Starting where the mountains left me
I'm left where I began
Where I will the wind only knows 
Good times around the bend
Get in my car
going too far
never coming back again.

Tired and worn
I woke up this morn
and found that I was confused
Spun right around
and found that I'd lost
the things that I couldn't loose
The beaches they sell 
to build their hotels
that my father and I once knew
The birds all along
The sunlight at dawn
Singing Waimanalo Blues

Down on the road
of a mountain so old
far on the countryside
Birds on the wing
will get to my while
so I'm headed for the riverside
In all of our dreams
sometimes it just seems 
that I'm just along for the ride
someday they'll cry
because they have pride
but something they loved here died
Beaches they sell
to build their hotels
My fathers and I once knew
The birds all along
The sunlight at dawn
Singing Waimanalo Blues
Singing Waimanalo Blues
Singing Waimanalo Blues

It's a sad but true tale of a place once called paradise that is falling prey 

to the bulldozer, the smoke stack and greed.
