  • 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'
    An' hell, baby, nobody knows when
    Yeah, if it was a different time
    Might've been different in a different life

    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 a you
    Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again
    If it weren't for the wind

    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

    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 a you
    Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again
    If it weren't for the wind

    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

    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 a you
    Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again
    If it weren't for the wind

    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
