Lyrics
She caught a flight to Denver
Back in late September
Traded the Bayou for mountains
Looking for something she couldn’t find here
While I’m stuck here in Breaux Bridge
Stinking of sea salt and crawfish
Wondering if what I’ve
Traded for this life was really worth it
Were you right to leave our simple lives behind
And is there more out there like you’d always said you’d find
Open the door to our old place
Greeted by silence and heartache
Holding my breath
‘Cause I’m still
Hoping to find you waiting for me inside
But all I see is this empty house every time
And are you ever comin’ home again
When the wind changes this way
Will that Eastward breeze carry you back with it
And if you ever show up hopin’
My heart’s still open,
I’m not sure it is
Remember you left us broken
In that knee-jerk moment
And I’m stuck with it
Now you're traveling the West in an old van
Livin’ the dream you imagined
While I'm walking these streets you abandoned
Seeing your face in every reflection
Your friends tell me that you moved on
How your dating some loser from Tucson
But we both know he's not the one
And are you ever comin’ home again
When the wind changes this way
Will that Eastward breeze carry you back with it
And if you ever show up hopin’
My heart’s still open,
I’m not sure it is
Remember you left us broken
In that knee-jerk moment
And I’m stuck with it
Were you right to leave our simple lives behind?
And are you ever comin’ home again
When the wind changes this way
Will that Eastward breeze carry you back with it
And if you ever show up hopin’
My heart’s still open,
I’m not sure it is
Remember you left us broken
In that knee-jerk moment
And I’m stuck with it
