Lyrics ROPING THE WIND C2009 Karel Daniels/Rich DavisWhen he was just in nursery schoolHe knew what he was born to doHe would saddle up and ride awayLike those cowboys of yesterdayDreams of ridin’ in the rodeoBustin’ broncs in the snowWith one hand tight on his broomstick mare The other swinging in the air Roping the wind – Where the mustangs run free Roping the wind – That’s where he wants to be With the twist of his wrist – And a big ol’ grin He’s Roping the windNow he works at his job downtownNo open spaces for miles aroundThe closest thing to a cattle driveIs the ride to his nine-to-fiveBut, there’s no dirt on his office floorSo he closes the doorHe leans back in that leather chair Throws one arm in the air(repeat chorus)One day he’s gonna do itGrab a hold of the reinsRide off into the western sunBut until then…He’ll beRoping the wind – Where the mustangs run freeRoping the wind – That’s where he wants to beRoping the wind – Trail dust in his hair Roping the wind – Aw, he wished he was thereWith a twist of his wrist – And a big ol’ grinHe’s Roping the wind
