Wind Behind The Rain

I knew you before we met
We don't need all the answers yet
And I'm sure time will change me some
You see what I could become
So much left to figure out
I never took the easy route
And I was born with my boots on
Will you take 'em off me when I'm gone?

I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
Like the prairies love the plains
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
I'll be the wind behind the rain

I wanna see you smiling when you're 90
And I'll always see you like you are right now
All my wild beginnings are behind me
And I know that we can stick it out somehow
Well, I wanted you the first time that I saw you
In that bar where all my friends left me behind
I wasn't even fishing when I caught you
But I always had your picture in my mind

I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
Like the prairies love the plains
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
I'll be the wind behind the rain

And I love you like the ocean loves the silver moon
Like Frank and Jesse loved the train
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
I'll be the wind behind the rain
