weren’t for the wind
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
...
