You lost your color when you painted the town
Paintin' by the numbers
You headed for the lobby, but you never came down
Is it any wonder?

You wind up sittin' in a second hand store
On display in a window
Wind up sittin' in the bottom of a drawer
Any way the wind blows

So you burned your bridges and headed downstream
Never know until you try
Spent your fortune on a river boat queen
Then the river ran dry

You end up sittin' on a sand bar
Down to a handful of treasures
'Nother shot of gold won't get you very far
When you got forever

Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind

So you keep on following directions until
Pretty soon you're past it
Guess you shoulda known better, and still
It was fun while it lasted
You end up sittin' in a second hand store
On display in a window
Wind up sittin' in the bottom of a drawer

Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
