weren’t for the wind

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 going
And hell, baby, nobody knows where
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 wondering what's out there
I wouldn't saddle up on the 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 blowing
Carrying me to the wide open
White lines rolling and the tires smoking
It wouldn't be the rearview I'm looking 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 blowing
Carrying me to the wide open
White lines rolling and the tires smoking
It wouldn't be the rearview I'm looking in
If it weren't for the wind
If it weren't for the wind
