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
Verse 2: (Waylon)
He'll keep you from knowing
Where he's been or going
You'll see the distance
Right there in his eyes
Just short of stealing
He'll take your feelings
Pull at your heart strings
Until they come untied
Chorus: (Waylon & Willie)
Once was a woman who made him turn lonesome
Her memory turns over and over again
Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
He's trying to outrun the wind
Verse 3: (Willie)
I've laughed with the sunshine
Cried with the rains
I've had some bad nights
With the best of the blues
I go on pretending
With long haired women
But i still get crazy
When i think of you
Chorus.
Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
He's trying to outrun the wind
