Man I tell you what Hank bout there-that dang ol meaning o'life, man. It's like this man.
You' like a butterfly flappin 'is wings
an' it gonna cause a tree fall - cause a tree fall
If-an ain't no body see it nobody don-done-e'en know it happen
baby born into this world
int'know neck god dang friends
find out about em ol evil
it's like your born into this world man
it's like dust in the wind
you don even know man - don even know man - don even know man
it's like your born into this world man
it's like dust in the wind
you don even know man - don even know man - don even know man
(pause)
that's what we tell ourselves isn't it boomhauer
like a dang ol' candle in the wind - it don matter man
now I think therefore you are - and now I think therefore you are
You' like a butterfly flappin 'is wings
it gonna cause a tree fall - cause a tree fall
n' no body see it nobody don-done-e'en know it happen
it's like your born into this world man
it's like dust in the wind
you don even know man - don even know man - don even know man
it's like your born into this world man
it's like dust in the wind
you don even know man - don even know man - don even know man
that's what we tell ourselves
it's like your born into this world man
it's like dust in the wind
you don even know man - don even know man - don even know man
