Amanda Kate Ferris - Rope the Wind Lyrics

We rolled into my bed like a West Texas tornado
He left my head spinning like a barn top weathervane
Sometimes when I hear the wind chimes singing out my window
Lay there on my mattress praying that someday he'll change

Trying to stop him leaving's
Trying to stop the sun from sinking
Trying to stop a drunk from drinking
There's no way

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

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

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

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 pulling out the driveway
It's like trying to stop a train
Tears are falling down like rain

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

You can't rope the wind"
