Lyrics
Turn Your Face to the Wind
V1
Turn your face to the wind
So you're older now and you've changed somehow, been to hell and back again
Turn your face to the wind
You got a heavy load on a winding road, well it ain't a mortal sin
When you're faith's wearing thin, don't you ever say no, just get a mile or two on down the road
V2
Put your back to the sun
Though you came up slack on the inside track and you wanted number one
Put your back to the sun
You can't get ahead and you find instead you're alone and on the run
So you're under the gun, don't you ever say no, just get a mile or two on down the road
Chorus
'Cause you can't get back and you can't get slack and you're nowhere near the end
And you feel sometimes like you've just been flying blind
You can never tell what's 'round the next bend, and paradise might just be what you find
Lead
V3
Turn you're face to the wind
When the cards are stacked and the sky looks black and there's just no way to win
Turn you're face to the wind
If you stand you're ground and you don't look down you'll be on you're way again
Dust yourself off and then, don't you ever say no, just get a mile or two on down the road
Chorus
Turn you're face to the wind
Turn you're face to the wind
Turn you're face to the wind
Turn you're face to the wind
