[Verse 1]

I wouldn't paint me as a heartbreaker

But I've said a few goodbyes

I'd make a promise but I know later

I'm bound to change my mind

Depending on the weather, I'm goin'

Hell, baby, nobody knows when

Yeah, if it was a different time

Might've been different in a different life


[Chorus]

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumbleweed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down, dig in some roots

Find me a farmhouse, find me you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind


[Verse 2]

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

I wouldn't saddle up on a breeze

I wouldn't disappear out of thin air

I could put down these wings


[Chorus]

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumbleweed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down, dig in some roots

Find me a farmhouse, find me you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind


[Post-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumbleweed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down, dig in some roots

Find me a farmhouse, find me you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind


[Post-Chorus]

Blowin', carryin' me to the wide open

White lines rollin' and the tires smokin'

It wouldn't be the rearview lookin' in

If it weren't for the wind


[Outro]

If it weren't for the wind
