This song was originally written several years ago. It came together in a single evening without much thought, and has remained relatively unchanged since then.
lyrics
"Rambling winds blowing, I feel them flowing
Flowing through the air, these boots I wear
Are gonna take me another mile, I'll stay a while
At the tavern tonight, where I just might
Trade a meal for a song, come on, sing along
The bard has come to town, let'e all get down
Down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
At first light I'll be heading down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
So tonight let's raise a glass down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Rambling winds blowing, the river's flowing
Flowing to the tide, I'll hitch a ride
And I'll sing you a song, as we roll along
On the river of life, there's a lot of strife
If you need to shed a tear, have no fear
You've got friends all around, let's get on down
Down the road.
Down the road, down the road, down the road
At first light I'll be heading down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
So tonight let's raise a glass down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Rambling winds blowing, a song is flowing
Flowing out of me, to the people I see
On this road we call life, take away some strife
With a song or a tale, it's the Holy Grail
To a traveler all alone, and weary to the bone
Plant the goodness in the ground, as you get on down
Down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
At first light I'll be heading down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
So tonight let's raise a glass down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
At first light I'll be heading down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
So tonight let's raise a glass down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Down that winding old road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Down that winding old road."
