Southwind Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the John Denver album, and has also been released on The Country Roads Collection album. 

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
