***********************************
"Windfall Way" tells the story of a wandering traveler who practices quiet, faith-driven generosity on the road, viewing unexpected acts of giving as both a personal path and a source of reciprocal blessing.
The narrator is low on gas near Tampa and spots a discouraged man on the roadside. Drawing a parallel to ravens that drop crumbs for the lost, he fills the man’s tank, buys him a meal, and watches the man’s spirit revive. Later, north of Birmingham, he encounters a single mother with two young children who is counting change; he discreetly leaves money under her cup and keeps moving so the kindness can flow without fanfare.
These moments are framed as “windfall wonders”—small, surprising gifts (compared to marshmallow treats) that arrive like manna. The repeated chorus presents the singer as a “wandering giver” who asks God what he can do to help and what he needs to learn, committing to keep pouring out until his own circumstances improve. The song treats this lifestyle as a deliberate “covenant” or “philanthropic stance”: giving without wasting time, responding to an inner call (“There’s a chance…”), and trusting that blessings will circle back.
In the final verses the perspective shifts slightly—the wandering itself becomes a form of windfall that lifts the giver while spreading help, bringing “the lost into the found” and easing others’ troubles. The song closes with a homeward-feeling refrain and repeated praise, underscoring a cycle of generosity rooted in faith rather than spectacle.
Overall, the narrative is less a linear plot than a series of roadside encounters that illustrate a way of living: stay open, give what you can when you see need, and trust that the same unexpected good will return.

Windfall Way
Mmm… wandering… my windfall way…
Running low on gas outside Tampa town
Man on the shoulder, world beating him down
Like the ravens I fly low, dropping crumbs where the lost ones go
Filled his tank, bought him a meal, watched his eyes come alive slow
One nudge in an envelope, another on the seat
Windfall wonders like marshmallow treats
Speak praise in volumes when the hungry finally eat
Praise the Lord!
Windfall way, yeah it’s coming around
I’m just a wandering giver,
watch the blessing come down
What can I do to help, Lord?
Show me what I need to learn
I’ll keep pouring out till my own tables turn
Windfall… way… on the way
North of Birmingham, single mom counting change again
Two little ones pulling heavy on a tired day
Like manna from heaven, it’s a steady grow
Slid help under her cup, kept rolling, let the kindness flow
One nudge in an envelope, another on the seat
Windfall wonders like marshmallow treats
Speak praise in volumes when the hungry finally eat
Praise the Lord!
Windfall way, yeah it’s coming around
I’m just a wandering giver, watch the blessing come down
What can I do to help, Lord? Show me what to learn
I’ll keep pouring out till my own tables turn
Windfall… way… windfall way
Windfall Way is a covenant for a man on the line
What can I give without wasting my time
I hear my old song playing so I do the dance
“There’s a chance… there’s a chance…”
Windfall way is a philanthropic stance.
Windfall way, yeah it’s lifting me now
I’m a wandering windfall, spread some blessings around
What can I do to help, Lord, to bring the lost into the found?
My wandering windfall way… keep their troubles down
Windfall… way…Windfall… way, coming home yeah… mmm… windfall way
Wandering… windfall… way…Praise the Lord!
