WIND BLOWS
As recorded by Braxton Keith
(2025 release)


[Intro]
D  G  D  G


[Verse 1]
  D                                       Em
I hate to say I told you so, but, girl, I told you so
           D                               Em
I got this leaving in me, just won't leave me alone
                                  G
Every time I feel it stirring up, there's gonna be a cloud of dust
D                                 A
Kicking up through them old truck taillights


[Chorus]
     G
This restless kind of wind I ride's
G
Gonna roll me outta here tonight
D
Pick me up, tumble me
D
Right on through to Tennessee
 G
Across your skin and through your hair
G
Almost like I was never there
   D
It don't die down, it don't sit still
D
Just ask them Oklahoma wheat fields
Em                                     F#m
They been tossed around enough to know
           Em                       G
I won't be coming back down on this road
                   D
That ain't the way the wind blows


[Verse 2]
D                                                 Em
You can slow me down for a little while, but in a little while
     D                                   Em
That same old gotta-go that keeps coming back around
                                             G         A
It's gonna come back around and I'll pull my hat down


[Chorus]
     G
This restless kind of wind I ride's
G
Gonna roll me outta here tonight
D
Pick me up, tumble me
D
Right on through to Tennessee
 G
Across your skin and through your hair
G
Almost like I was never there
   D
It don't die down, it don't sit still
D
Just ask them Oklahoma wheat fields
Em                                     F#m
They been tossed around enough to know
           Em                       G
I won't be coming back down on this road
                   D          G  D  G
That ain't the way the wind blows


[Chorus]
G
This restless kind of wind I ride's
G
Gonna roll me outta here tonight
D
Pick me up, tumble me
F#m
Right on through to Tennessee
 G
Across your skin and through your hair
G
Almost like I was never there
   D
It don't lay down, it never sleeps
D
Just ask them Kansas clothesline sheets
Em                                     F#m
They been tossed around enough to know
           Em                       G
I won't be coming back down on this road
                   D          G  D
That ain't the way the wind blows


[Outro]
                 G              D  G  D  G
It ain't the way the wind blows
