Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I been walking through the clay
seven winters, maybe more
boots split open at the sole
nothing left worth keeping for
[Verse 2]
Old man told me once in Abilene
some things break so clean they mend
I just nodded, drank my rye
didn't believe him back then
[Refrain]
but the wind turned west this morning
the wind turned west today
[Verse 3]
There's a woman at the station now
doesn't know my name yet
she looked up when I walked past
first time I didn't regret
[Verse 4]
The highway still runs out to nothing
same as it did last year
but the dust don't taste as bitter
and the sky is finally clear
[Refrain]
cause the wind turned west this morning
the wind turned west today
[Verse 5]
I ain't fixed, I ain't forgiven
still owe money to the state
but something shifted in my chest
like a door I left unlatched
[Verse 6]
Maybe it's the cottonwood blooming
maybe I just slept enough
or maybe seven winters breaking
finally made me tough
[Refrain]
and the wind turned west this morning
the wind turned west today
[Outro]
I'm still walking through the clay
but my stride's a little long
