Goin' Where The Wind Blows

Someone said life is for the takin',here I am with my hand out,
Waitin' for a ride.
I've been livin' on my great expectations,what good is it when I'm stranded here,
And the world just passes by?
Where are the signs,to help me get out of this place?

If I should stumble on my moment in time,
How will I know?
If the story's written on my face,
Does it show?
Am I strong enough to walk on water,
Smart enough to come in out of the rain?
Or am I a fool?
Goin' where the wind blows.
(where the wind blows)

Here I sit halfway to somewhere,thinking 'bout what's in front of me,
And what I left behind.
On my own supposed to be so easy,is this what I've been after,
Or have I lost my mind?
Maybe this is my chance,and it's coming to take me away,yeah,

If I should stumble on my moment in time,
How will I know?
If the story's written on my face,
Does it show?
Am I strong enough to walk on water,
Smart enough to come in out of the rain?
Or am I a fool?
Goin' where the wind blows.
(where the wind blows)

Here I am,walking naked through the world,
Taking up space,society's child,
Make room for me,make room for me,make room for me.

Am I strong enough to walk on water,
Smart enough to come in out of the rain?
Or am I a fool?
Goin' where the win blows.
(where the wind blows)
(la la la la la la la)
(la la la la la la la )

Goin' Where The Wind Blows

Mr. Big's 'Goin' Where The Wind Blows' stands as a quintessential example of their 1980s hard rock and arena metal sound. Released during the band's peak commercial success, the track exemplifies their signature blend of melodic hooks, heavy distortion, and anthemic choruses that defined the genre. While often associated with their self-titled debut album, the song captures the raw energy and stadium-ready production that made Mr. Big a staple of rock radio. It reflects the era's emphasis on power chords and soaring vocals, contributing to a catalog of hits that remains influential in the hard rock canon. The recording showcases the band's ability to balance aggression with catchy, memorable melodies, solidifying their legacy as one of the most successful acts of the decade.
