Dixie Chicks West Texas Wind Lyrics

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
