Mama, I don't think I can come home with you
'cause I saw a girl that looks like a friend
Mercy, have mercy on she tonight

'cause she's standin' in the transit wind

I finally got the nerve up

to climb into your pick-up truck
off the white dashed line
on the black wind swept road

After my departure
well it felt too cold for March or May
and the wind would not leave me alone

Oh no, and the wind would not leave me alone

and I know a lie when I see one

drop from her trembling lips
and I will lay down and cry when I need one
but right now, I can't feel the Transit Wind

and I'm not strong enough to go through that again

'Cause, I've never felt so bad

the way I'm feeling now

Candy, Candy there was a time

when your love came in handy
I can't get to sleep
without weeping on your name

well I'm weeping on your name (repeats)
