West Texas Wind
[Verse 1]
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 travelin' kind

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

[Verse 2]
Now the lights of Denver, they're gonna shimmer in the deep red of the dawn
And I'll be rollin' in, bleary-eyed and hangin' on
And I'll grab my suitcase and slip it lightly through the door
And swear again I won't leave him anymore
[Chorus]
West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back
Tuggin' at my heart and pullin' on my sleeve
You and this old guitar, you're always up for pickin' just one more song
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave

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