[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
