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 Words and Music by Herb Pedersen
