Tryin' to Outrun the Wind Songtext

von Waylon Jennings

He's a sad song singer
He plays a gut-stringer
With vagabond fingers
That follow his mind
To far away places
He reaches for traces
And touches the faces
He's long left behind

He'll keep you from knowing
Where he's been or going
But you'll see the distance
Right there in his eyes
An, just short of stealing
He'll take your feelings
Pull at your heart strings
Until they come untied

There once was a woman
Who made him turn lonesome
Her memory turns over and over again
He's like an old stallion
Who's longing for freedom
Tryin' to outrun the wind

Well, I've laughed with the sunshine
And cried with the rains
I've had some bad nights
With the best of the blues
And I go on pretending
With long-haired women
But I still get crazy when I think of you

There once was a woman
Who made him turn lonesome
Her memory turns over and over again
He's like an old stallion
Who's longing for freedom
Tryin' to outrun the wind

He's like an old stallion
Who's longing for freedom
Tryin' to outrun the wind
