Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues/R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. Later she would become famous for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.

I'm Blowin' Away Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
I've been romanced and dined and danced
Crazy nights and wild times
But life has lost its mystery
And love is blind and cannot find me
I'm blowin' away
And shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowin' away
These shadows keep takin' my love and leavin' me
I have cast aside my foolish pride
I'm goin' down for the last time
I have searched this earth and sailed these seas
But love is blind and cannot find me
I'm blowin' away
And shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowin' away
These shadows keep takin' my love and leavin' me
I'm blowin' away
And shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowin' away
These shadows keep takin' my love and leavin' me
