[Verse 1]
In the fever of a world in flames
In the season of the hurricanes
Flood will get you if the fire don't
Any way the wind blows

[Verse 2]
And there ain't a thing that you can do
When the weather takes a turn on you
Except for hurry up and hit the road
Any way the wind blows

[Chorus]
Sister's gone, gone the gypsy route
Brother's gone, gone for a job down south
Ain't nobody gonna stick around, when the dark clouds roll
Any way the wind blows

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
In the valley of the exodus
In the belly of a bowl of dust
Crows and buzzards flying low
Any way the wind blows
[Verse 4]
No use talking of a past that's past
Set out walking and we don't look back
Where we're going there ain't no one knows
Any way the wind blows

[Chorus]
Sister's gone, gone the gypsy route
Brother's gone, gone for a job down south
Gone the same way as a shanty town, and the traveling show
Any way the wind blows
