ROPING THE WIND C2009 Karel Daniels/Rich Davis When he was just in nursery school He knew what he was born to do He would saddle up and ride away Like those cowboys of yesterday Dreams of ridin’ in the rodeo Bustin’ broncs in the snow With 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 wind Now he works at his job downtown No open spaces for miles around The closest thing to a cattle drive Is the ride to his nine-to-five But, there’s no dirt on his office floor So he closes the door He leans back in that leather chair Throws one arm in the air (repeat chorus) One day he’s gonna do it Grab a hold of the reins Ride off into the western sun But until then…He’ll be Roping the wind – Where the mustangs run free Roping the wind – That’s where he wants to be Roping the wind – Trail dust in his hair Roping the wind – Aw, he wished he was there With a twist of his wrist – And a big ol’ grin He’s Roping the wind
