The wheels go down
i��m back in town
three months full of summer
and nothing to do
it��s been a strain at the reins
but the picture remains
southwind��s blowin�� my love to you
southwind��s blowin�� my love
For sixty-one days
i got caught in the maze
twenty thousand watching
the songs go by
the lights go down
in an east texas town
southwind��s blowin�� my love to you
southwind��s blowin�� my love
I couldn��t wait until
till i got back home to you
oh to get my fill
of those california summer nights
It��s good to be home
my how the children have grown
screen door��s barking out
that old familiar tune
games at the park
but honey wait until dark
southwind��s blowin�� my love to you
southwind��s blowin�� my love
I couldn��t wait until
till i got back home to you
oh to get my fill
of those california summer nights
The wheels go down
i��m back in town
three months full of summer
and nothing to do
it��s been a strain at the reins
but the picture remains
southwind��s blowin�� my love to you
southwind��s blowin�� my love
