Western Wind

Well I'm just a lonely cowboy here on the Texas plains Got woman down in Abilene who I think of everyday Got a hundred fifty longhorns under my care Been a week since I've had a drink and month since I washed my hair But the sun is a shining on me everyday Crack the whip and wipe my brow and move along my way Sometimes I don't wanna be here, sometimes I do Sometimes I don't know my desire, and I just want something new Well I know it's true deep within my bones Take me back on the western wind to Abilene my home Take me too my lady waiting at the door Take me back on the western wind to the women I adore We stop to camp up for the night and she's still on my mind Ain't had a fever for home this bad in all my cattle time A coyote howls up at the silver moon Deep in sleep I dream of an Abilene afternoon Well I know it's true deep within my bones Take me back on the western wind to Abilene my home Take me too my lady waiting at the door Take me back on the western wind to the women I adore Well up at the next morning she's burning in my brain See another herder there riding cross the plain Well a couple thousand dollars is a little low in price But any coin was good for me to ride back home tonight Well I know it's true deep within my bones Take me back on the western wind to Abilene my home Take me too my lady waiting at the door Take me back on the western wind to the women I adore
