From the recordings Burning Lullabies and West Texas Wind
West Texas Wind is a hauntingly beautiful tale of longing and loneliness, set against the vast, open plains of Texas. Blending heartfelt storytelling with sweeping instrumentation, the song follows a restless drifter who finally confronts the weight of lost love and unanswered questions. As the wind carries echoes of the past, he’s left wondering if she even remembers him at all. With its timeless Americana feel and emotionally charged delivery, West Texas Wind is a song that lingers long after the last note fades—aching, restless, and impossible to forget.
Lyrics
Well I miss hearing your voice
To calm my superstitions
Trusting you was my choice
Breaking that trust was your decision
Don't you worry about the shape I'm in
I'm just blowing back again
Living the same life I've always been
Leaving ties at loose ends
I won't even try to pretend
I'm more than a sheet in West Texas Wind
West Texas Wind
Maybe it's this West Texas heat
But I still hear your call
Rolling over the sand into this guitar in my hand
Asking does any of this look familiar at all
Don't you worry about the shape I'm in
I'm just blowing back again
And living the same life I've always been
Leaving ties at loose ends
I won't even try to pretend
I'm more than a sheet in West Texas Wind
West Texas Wind
(Don't you worry about the shape I'm in)
(I'm just blowing back again)
(And living the same life I've always been)
(Leaving ties at loose ends)
(I won't even try to pretend)
(I'm more than a sheet in West Texas Wind)
(West Texas Wind)
(West Texas Wind)
(West Texas Wind)
