West Texas Wind

(专辑： Thank Heavens For Dale Evans - 1990)

It's a long thin line, it sure is a hot and dusty day
And Colorado is more than eight hundred miles away
I called to tell you that I'd be home sometime tonight
If the roads are clear and the weather is right
Now to say I miss you is putting it lightly, can't you see
There's nothing better than having you lying next to me
Early in the morning, honey you're the first thing on my mind
Like a rising sun to the traveling kind

West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back
Tugging at my heart and pulling on my sleeve
You and this old guitar, you're always up for picking just one more song
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave

Now the lights of Denver, they're gonna shimmer in the deep red of the dawn
And I'll be rolling in, bleary-eyed and hanging on
And I'll grab my suitcase and slip it lightly through the door
And swear again I won't leave him anymore

West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back
Tugging at my heart and pulling on my sleeve
You and this old guitar, you're always up for picking just one more song
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave

And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave
If I listen long enough to you I might never leave
