lyrics

If I had the wind behind me I’d leave this town today
If I had the wind behind me like the wind I’d slip away
Tucson up to Phoenix, that’s the road I’d take
If I had the wind behind me I’d drift your way

Were there no chains to bind me I’d lift my feet of clay
Were there no chains to bind me I’d be at your door again
Everything that a man should be is a bond I’d surely break
Were there no chains to bind me you would pay
You would pay

You would pay with all your warmth and all your charm
You’d pay with your hopes and your dreams
You’d pay like before with a piece of your heart
You’d give everything to me just for love
Just for love

You would not think kindly if I made her cry
And would not think kindly of one more stolen night
Phoenix down to Tucson, you will not come this way
And you would not think kindly if I strayed
If I strayed

If I had the wind behind me
If I had the wind behind me
If I had the wind behind me
