My heavy heart pounds hard tonight down this highway in the wind   The windshield wipers clean away the tears I cry within   The love I've thrown away, I know I'll never feel again   And I, I'm just twistin' in the wind      Some one cut me down from here   I can't prove what don't exist   Did you feel the same as I?   Or was there something I might have missed?      I turned my back on everyone who wanted me to win   I needed you so bad, I guess   That's the way that I was back then   Now I, I'm just twistin' in the wind      I believe I'll go down to the bridge and watch the trains roll by   See the sparks fly from their wheels where the rocks and the cinders lie   The weight I feel inside tonight could put a freight train in a spin   And I, I'm just twistin' in the wind      Some one cut me down from here   I can't prove what don't exist   Did you feel the same as I?   Or was there something I might have missed?      I turned my back on everyone who wanted me to win   I needed you so bad, I guess   That's the way that I was back then   Now I, I'm just twistin' in the wind      And love has made a fool of me at the gates of guillotine   I can't believe I heard the truth comin' from your answering machine   How did I become this broken man, was I too blind to bend?   Now I, I'm just twistin' in the wind, I, I'm just twistin' in the wind, I, I      Some one cut me down from here   I been hangin' here too long   Release me from the binds of love   I can't tell right from wrong, I, I
