Gone With the West Texas Wind

Loving you in Houston was harder than in Austin
But I guess you made the biggest fool of me in San Antone
While you took
You promised much
Then left me bitin’ Texas dust
With nothing to remember
‘Cept perhaps the Alamo

Then you were gone with the west Texas wind
El Paso was calling you again
We’ve seen most of the lone star state together
Since we met
And yet
You’re going west alone
And who knows when
The west Texas wind will blow you back again

In San Antone
I walk alone
The river where you sang me songs
And I like that river winding
Finding no place to stay long
With nothing there to hold me down
I’ll ride the wind on out of town
And hope someday it setms down someplace I call home

And now I’m gone with the west Texas wind
Wonder will I pass this way again?
It seems that lonely, howling wind blew my last dream
Away
Did it shatter
Or will it blow back someday
Guess only the west Texas wind could say

I caught a plane to Abeline
In hopes my folks could ease the pain
Forgetting to remember the reason I left home
But soon that generation gap
Handed me the road map
And soon I had my thumb out
Headin’ west away from home

And now I’m gone with the west Texas wind
Searching for an understanding friend
Someone rooted to the ground
That can’t be blown around
Is that someone still around among men
Or is everybody blowing in the wind

Yes, I’m gone with the west Texas wind
Searching for an understanding friend
Someone rooted to the ground
That can’t be blown around
Is that someone still around among men
Or is God above our only faithful friend

Yes, I’m gone with the west Texas wind
