That Ol Wind - Lyrics by Garth Brooks


Lyrics

She dropped her boy at school on time
One less worry on her mind
Now it's off to work and on the radio
Come's an old familiar song
And then the d.j.'s voice comes on
And say's he's back in town tonight for one last show.

Her eyes well up with tears
God could it be it's been ten years
Since that autumn night outside the county fair
When two strangers shared a night
And in the darkness found a light
That to this day is still alive and burning there.

He asked her twice to come along
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
'cause you can't hold back the wind
If it's meant to be again
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms.

The marquee misspelled his name
And not too many people came
But that didn't matter to them
They laughed and loved all through the night
And as they faced the morning light
They found themselves standing there again.

And he asked her twice to come along
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
As his bus left out she cried
With him standing by her side
That ol' wind had once again found it's way home.
Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid.
But for right now they're both in love
The only thing they're thinkin' of
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been.
