West Texas Wind

It's a long thin line, it sure is a hot and dusty day

And Colorado's more than eight hundred miles away

If the roads are clear and the weather is right

I called to tell you that I'd be home sometime tonight

There's nothing better than havin' you lying next to me

Early in the morning, honey you're the first thing on my mind

Now to say I miss you is putting it lightly, can't you see

Like the risin' sun to the travelin' kind

Tugging at my heart and pulling on my sleeve

Now the lights of Denver,

they're gonna shimmer in the deep red of the dawn

You and this old guitar,

you're always up for picking just one more song

West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back

And I'll grab my suitcase and slip it lightly through the door

And swear again I won't leave him anymore

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