Waylon Jennings Lyrics for Song: Tryin' to Outrun the Wind
 Lyrics for Album: Clean Shirt (w. Willie Nelson) [Epic] [1991]
 
 
 
 36235>(Troy Seals - Eddie Setser - Tom Davey)
 
 
 
 He's a sad song singer he plays a gut-stringer
 
 With vagabond fingers that follow his mind
 
 To far away places he reaches for traces
 
 And touches the faces he's long left behind.
 
 
 
 He'll keep you from knowing where he's been or going
 
 You'll see the distance right there in his eyes
 
 Just short of stealing he'll take your feelings
 
 Pull at your heart strings till they come untied.
 
 
 
 Once was a woman who made him turn lonesome
 
 Her memory turns over and over again
 
 Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
 
 Trying to outrun the wind.
 
 
 
 --- Instrumental ---
 
 
 
 Well, I've laughed with the sunshine cried with the rains
 
 I've had some bad nights with the best of the blues
 
 And I go on pretending with long haired women
 
 I still get crazy when I think of you.
 
 
 
 Once was a woman who made him turn lonesome
 
 Her memory turns over and over again
 
 Like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
 
 Trying to outrun the wind.
 
 
 
 He's like an old stallion who's longing for freedom
 
 Trying to outrun the wind...
