There's  a place up ahead and I'm goin'
just  as fast as my feet can fly.
Come  away, come away if you're goin',
leave  the sinkin' ship  behind.
'mon  the risin' wind,
 we're goin'  up around  the bend.  Whoooh.
Bring  a song and a smile for the banjo,
better  get while the gettin's good.
Hitch  a ride to the end of the highway
where  the neons turn  to wood.
'mon  the risin' wind,
 we're goin'  up around  the bend.
You  can ponder perpetual motion,
fiz  your mind for a crystal day.
Always  time for a good conversation,
there's  an ear for what  you say.
'mon  the risin' wind,
 we're goin'  up around  the bend.
Catch  a ride to the end of the highway
and  we'll meet by the big red tree.
There's  a place up ahead and I'm goin',
come  along, come along  with me.
'mon  the risin' wind,
 we're goin'  up around  the bend.
 Transposed so it's actually possible to sing without hitting
 yourself in the balls first ;-)
 (and still possible to make the sweet intro fit):
