Stood With my Back to the Wind - Lyrics Critique

by David Wright
(Deming, New Mexico)

I grew up a drifter
my eyes on the rainbow
with colors
that fade in the rain
dreams of the highway
that came to me nightly
I tried to resist
but in vain.
(Chorus)
I've always been humbled by sunrise
stood with my back to the wind
searching for something
and someone to care
in places I've never seen.

I've sat in the light
of a flickering campfire
wasted on bourbon and gin
watching the faces
and broken down traces
of losers like me
on the run.
(Chorus)
I've always been humbled by sunrise
stood with my back to the wind
searching for something
and someone to care
in places I've never seen.
(Fade to close)
Searching for something
and someone to care
in places I've never seen.
