Way out in Texas
there's a restless wind that blows
a cowboy follows it no matter
where it goes.
It keeps him moving on
won't stay in one place for too long
It's the only kind of life a cowboy knows.

It's the same out in El Paso,
Amarillo and Laredo
the trail is a cowboy's only friend.
In every little town
a cowgirl thinks he'll settle down.
But you cant tame the wild Texas wind.

She sings, Blow, blow Texas wind.
I think this time I can tame him
If you bring him back again.
Some cowgirls never learn
you're just another bridge he'll burn.
You can't tame the wild Texas wind.

He left home at seventeen
on the trail to Abilene,
driving longhorn cattle and sleeping
beneath the stars.
He likes his life this way
aint no way he'll ever change.
Or let a cowgirl build a fence
around his heart.

She sings, Blow, blow Texas wind.
I think this time I can tame him
If you bring him back again.
Some cowgirls never learn
you're just another bridge he'll burn.
You can't tame the wild Texas wind.

You cowgirls listen up
don't you dare fall in love.
'Cause about the time you think
you have him penned.
You'll wake up one day
just to watch him ride away.
Chasin' the wild Texas wind.

You'll sing, Blow, blow Texas wind.
I think this time I can tame him
If you bring him back again.
Some cowgirls never learn
you're just another bridge he'll burn.
You can't tame the wild Texas wind.
