[Verse 1]
Just like a broken marriage, when two people just don't care
Like when the cupboard is empty or there's no food in the Frigidaire

[Chorus 1]
I'm a page from the end of the story
No closer to my hope and glory
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind

[Verse 2]
How come it gets so disturbing, when two ships pass in the storm
Who knows how high the crow flies, who knows where this refugee was born

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
And just for the sake of all these reasons
Rains wash out the fires within
Fires that help to keep you moving
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind

[Verse 3]
You don't deserve that treatment, I can't pretend I was that nice
I'm no E ticket ride to Disneyland, I'm no cushy first class flight
I'm a day behind your restless wings
You, you rather have the wealth of kings
Me, I'd rather be on the heels of the wind

[Chorus 2]
And just for the sake of all these reasons
Rains wash out the fires within
The fires that help to keep you moving
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind[x2]

[Chorus 2]
And just for the sake of all these reasons
Rains wash out the fires within
Fires that help to keep you moving
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind

[Outro]
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind[x3]
Well mama, just a kick away, just a kick away
Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
