That Ol' wind

By Garth Brooks

She dropped her boy at school on time 
One less worry on her mind 
Now it's off to work and on the radio 
Comes 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 its 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
