Bend With the Breeze - Glossary

Run honey run as fast as you can

The wolves are out

They walk through this town with blood on their lips

And their hands held out

And the vultures are circling above your head

Just watching it all

Waiting for you to make one mistake

So they can watch you fall

So you better find someone to love

And make sure they know you do

Because you either bend with the breeze

Or let it break you

Your Daddy had a house up in Harriman

Off the interstate

And when your Momma got sick

Fate stepped in and changed everything

Now I’ve seen fires and floods and car wrecks

Where no one survived

But I ain’t ever seen fear like I did

When I looked into a broken man’s eyes

So you better grab a hold of something

And let it pull you through

Because you either bend with the breeze

Or let it break you

So run honey run as fast as you can

It’s a mean old world

But luck honey luck is always on the side

Of a pretty girl

So hold your head up and don’t you ever

Be ashamed to cry

And never forget how lucky you are

Just to be alive

So you better find someone to love

And make sure they know you do

Because you either bend with the breeze

Or let it break you

This life can be as beautiful as you want it to

But you got to bend with the breeze

Or it will break you.
