Windmills

[Intro]
Well the days were full of laughter
Our nights were full of songs
My old man, he was kind and strong
Then the hills, the rolling hills where I was raised
When his water turned to whiskey
I'd found my old hiding place
And when his workday ended
He'd come home to take his meal
Without a word, I could tell
Just how it feels to work all-day
And let it pass you by
Without a word to say, without a dream to try

[Chorus]
'Cus watching the windmills turn
See 'em spinning as they stand
Working all day, for another man, 'nother man

[Verse]
Well the bottle he ain't kind
No, it don't call no man friend
He'd keep you warm, just to burn you in the end
Telling you lies that you love to believe
If you look him in the eyes, he can turn a good soul mean
And it don't take much of a man
To let his family down
Swinging up at the world, through the hole that he's found
Makes you cold, has friends to make things hard
And if it lands upon you, it's bound to leave a scar

[Outro/Chorus]
Watching the windmills turn
See 'em spinning as they stand
Working all day, for another man, 'nother man
