Rope the Wind

We rolled into my bed like a West Texas tornado

He left my head spinning like a barn top weathervane

Sometimes when I hear the wind chimes singing out my window

Lay there on my mattress praying that someday he'll change

Trying to stop him leaving's

Trying to stop the sun from sinking

Trying to stop a drunk from drinking

There's no way

You can't rope the wind

You can't make him stay

When it starts kicking up the dust

He'll up and blow away

You can't tell if it's

Picking up or slowing down

Or if it's ever gonna bring him back around

You can't rope the wind

Damn when this thing started I was floating on a breeze

Going here and there and everywhere wherever he'd take me

I could sway like a willow tree, I could hang out on a limb

But I can't stop him slipping through my hands

You can't rope the wind

You can't make him stay

When it starts kicking up the dust

He'll up and blow away

You can't tell if it's

Picking up or slowing down

Or if it's ever gonna bring him back around

You can't rope the wind

Trying to stop him leaving's

Trying to stop the sun from sinking

Trying to stop a drunk from drinking

There's no way

Some things you learn the hard way

Can't stop a truck pulling out the driveway

It's like trying to stop a train

Tears are falling down like rain

You can't rope the wind

You can't make him stay

When it starts kicking up the dust

He'll up and blow away

You can't tell if it's

Picking up or slowing down

Or if it's ever gonna bring him back around

You can't rope the wind

You can't rope the wind

You can't rope the wind

You can't rope the wind
