As I travel down the back roads, of this home I love so much,

Every carpenter and cowboy, every lame many on a crutch.

Verse 2:
CAmGF
From a lighthouse in Barr Harbor, to a Bridge called Golden Gate,

From a trawler down in Shreveport, to the shore of one great lake.

When the blind man sees the picture, when the deaf man hears the word,

We'll still hear the wondrous story, of a world where people care.

The story of this mighty wind, that's blowin' every-where.
