He set his hopes on Monday
Thinkin' time would make it right
But those days kept rollin' by him
Without a struggle or a fight

And he won't know what he's missin'
He just spends his lifetime listenin' to the wind

Well, he never had a problem
'Cause he never took the time
And he'd never call a friend up
So he'd never lose the dime
And he won't know what he's missin
He just spends his lifetime listenin' to the wind

Chasin' the wind
Chasin' the wind
Never seemed to care
He was dancin' in the air
Chasin' the wind
Chasin' the wind
Searchin' for the gold at rainbow's end

He would say there's no creator
'Cept the words were never clear
Did he simply hesitate or
Give a little in to fear
But the truth as he woud see it
Would reduce him to believin' in a lie

Chasin' the wind
Chasin' the wind
Never seemed to care
He was dancin' in the air
Chasin' the wind
Chasin' the wind
Searchin' for the gold at rainbow's end

The beginning of all wisdom
Is to hold to what is true
Better a poor and wise man
Than to be a wealthy fool
For a wise man never misses
What a fool ignores by listenin' to the wind

Chasin' the wind
Chasin' the wind
Never seemed to care
He was dancin' in the air
Chasin' the wind
Chasin' the wind
Searchin' for the gold at rainbow's end
