West Texas Wind Songtext
von Runaway Express

It′s a long thin line, it sure is a hot and dusty day
Colorado is more than six hundred miles away
I called to tell you that I'd be home tomorrow night
If the roads are clear and the weather is right
Now to say I miss you is putting it lightly, Laura Lee
There′s nothing better than having you lying next to me
Early in the morning, darling you're the first thing on my mind
Like the rising sun to the travelling 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 listened long enough to you, I might never leave


Well, the lights of Denver are gonna
Shimmer in the deep red of the dawn
I′ll be rolling in, weary-eyed and hanging on
I′ll grab my suitcase, I'll slip it in lightly through the door
And I′ll swear again I won't leave her 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 listened long enough to you, I might never leave

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 listened long enough to you, I might never leave
If I listened long enough to you, I might never leave
And if I listened long enough to you, I might never leave
