Southwind

Southwind and a pickup truck On a gravel road and I think I’m in luck— Cause the sun’s high in the western sky And in an hour or two I’ll be by your side. I know these hills like the back of my hand But they feel like a no-man’s land without you. Ten days on a workin’ trip, Back’s achin’ and my jeans are ripped— I’m through. Southwind and a pickup truck On a gravel road and I think I’m in luck— Cause the sun’s lower in the western sky And in an hour I know I’ll be by your side. Long shadows stretch across my way Been counting nights just to make it to this day... Deer standing on the far side Bodies tense and their eyes wide— Just stay... Southwind and a pickup truck On a gravel road and I think I’m in luck— Cause the sun’s settin’ in the western sky And in a minute more I’ll be by your side. (Instrumental) Down the canyon and my brights are on Seems like the last two miles are a million miles long I know this road will call me out again But I hear our dogs barkin’ as I pull This big truck in. Southwind behind my pickup truck On that gravel road and I count myself lucky— Cause the sun’s gone from the western sky Just you and me, and we’re in for the night. Yeah the sun’s gone from the western sky And this workin’ man ain’t nothin’ but your Stay-at-home guy
