Lyrics:

[English]

I wouldn't paint me as a heart breaker

But I've said a few goodbyes

I'd make a promise, but I know later

I'm bound to change my mind

Dependin' on the weather I'm goin'

And hell, baby nobody knows where

Yeah, if it was a different time

Might've been different in a different life

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumble weed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down

Dig in some roots

Find me a farm house

Find me a you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind

I wouldn't stay wonderin' what's out there

I wouldn't saddle up on the breeze

I wouldn't disappear out of thin air

I could put down these wings

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumble weed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down

Dig in some roots

Find me a farm house

Find me a you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind blowin'

Carryin' me to the wide open

White lines rollin' and the tires smokin'

It wouldn't be the rearview I'm lookin' in

If it weren't for the wind

If it weren't for the wind

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumble weed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down

Dig in some roots

Find me a farm house

Find me a you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind blowin'

Carryin' me to the wide open

White lines rollin' and the tires smokin'

It wouldn't be the rearview I'm lookin' in

If it weren't for the wind

If it weren't for the wind
