lyrics

Mama thinks I’m crazy, mama Mama thinks I’m mad
She doesn’t understand the reasons that I’ve always had
Mama thinks I’m crazy mama Mama thinks I’m mad
She doesn’t understand me and you know, she never has

Oh I know she loves me even though she knows I’m mad
But every time I trot around the globe it makes her sad
Daddy was a sailor and you know she should have known
That just like him her children would be driven just to roam

Gotta go as far as the wind will take me
I’ve gotta go as far as that old wind will take me

My sister is a fairy, yes and me, I am a witch
But when we go out in our capes you can’t tell which is which
Oh l like my bare feet to be stampin’ in the mud
And soil from all over this earth feels good to my blood

Gotta go as far as the wind will take me
I’ve gotta go as far as that old wind will take me

No I won’t apologize for being what I am
And I don’t care if anybody ever understands
I was born to wander, oh I feel it in my heart
Let go of me, I beg of you, of this I want no part

Mama thinks I’m crazy mama Mama thinks I’m mad
She doesn’t understand the reasons that I’ve always had
Mama drives me crazy mama Mama drives me mad
Let go of me, I beg of you, I simply won’t be had

Gotta go as far as the wind will take me
I’ve gotta go as far as that old wind will take me

Kristen Rae Bowden Charlottesville, Virginia

The right kind of friction creates glorious sparks. Coursing within the heart and mind of singer-songwriter Kristen Rae Bowden is a beautiful turmoil of tenderness and willfulness. It’s a paradoxical sentiment also evident in her artistic sensibilities. In her upcoming debut, Language and Mirrors, she fluidly, and authentically, inhabits earthy Americana and majestic orchestral rock. ... more
