Amanda Kate - Rope the Wind

{Verse 1}
We rolled into my bed like a West Texas tornado
He left my head spinning like a barn top weather rain
Sometimes when I hear the wind chimes singing out my window
Lay there on my mattress, praying that some day he'll change

{Pre-Chorus}
Trying to stop him leaving's trying to stop the sun from sinking
Trying to stop a drunk from drinking, there's no way

{Chorus}
You can't rope the wind
You can't make him stay
When it starts kicking up the dust
He'll up and blow away
You can't tell if it's
Picking up or slowing down
Or if it's ever gonna bring him back around
You can't rope the wind

{Verse 2}
Damn, when this thing started I was floating on a breeze
Going here and there and everywhere, wherever he'd take me
I could sway like a willow tree, I could hang out on a limb
But I can't stop him slipping through my hands

{Chorus}
You can't rope the wind
You can't make him stay
When it starts kicking up the dust
He'll up and blow away
You can't tell if it's
Picking up or slowing down
Or if it's ever gonna bring him back around
You can't rope the wind

{Bridge}
Trying to stop him leaving's trying to stop the sun from sinking
Trying to stop a drunk from drinking, there's no way
Some things you learn the hard way, can't stop a truck going out the drive way
It's like trying to stop a train, tears are falling down like rain

{Chorus}
You can't rope the wind
You can't make him stay
When it starts kicking up the dust
He'll up and blow away
You can't tell if it's
Picking up or slowing down
Or if it's ever gonna bring him back around
You can't rope the wind
You can't rope the wind
You can't rope the wind

{Outro}
Hey yeah, hey
You can't rope the wind
