"Opal's Blues" lyrics

"Opal's Blues"
(from "Because Of Winn-Dixie" soundtrack)

Ain't lookin' forward
And I ain't lookin' back
Ain't' lookin' forward
And I ain't lookin' back
Lordy, seem like every hour
Sure gon' be my last

Minutes feel like hours
Hours feel like days
Minutes feel like hours
And hours feel like days
Well the wind is a-risin'
And the trees begin to sway

I wake up each mornin' and
Watch the sun go down
I wake up each mornin' and

I watch the sun go down
I got find a reason just to hang around

I'm a sweet little rider
I'm lighter than the wind
Lighter than the wind

I'm lighter than the wind
Lighter than the wind
Lighter than the wind
Lighter than the wind

I been a sweet little rider
Since I don't know when
