Tom: D
D G
He's a sad song singer, he plays a gut-stringer
A D
With vagabond fingers, that follow his mind
G
To far away places, he reaches for traces
A D
And touches the faces, he’s long left behind
(Waylon):
D G
He'll keep you from knowing, where he’s been or going
A D
You'll see the distance, right there in his eyes
G
Just short of stealing, he’ll take your feelings
A D
Pull at your heart strings, until they come untied
[CHORUS]
G D
Once was a woman who made him turn lonesome
A D
Her memory turns over and over again
G D
Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
A D
He's trying to outrun the wind
(Willie):
D G
I've laughed with the sunshine, cried with the rains
A D
I've had some bad nights, with the bet of the blues
G
I go on pretending, with long haired women
A D
But I still get crazy, when I think of you
[CHORUS]
G D
Once was a woman who made him turn lonesome
A D
Her memory turns over and over again
G D
Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
A D
He's trying to outrun the wind
G D
Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
A D
He's trying to outrun the wind
