Weren’t for the Wind Lyrics
I wouldn’t paint me as a heart breaker
But i’ve said a few goodbyes
I’d make a promise but i know later
I’m bound to change my mind
Depending on the weather im goin’
Hell baby nobody knows when
Yeah if it was a different time
Might have been different in a different life
Maybe that plane wouldn’t ever take off
Maybe that dust wouldn’t fly off the drive
Maybe that tumbleweed and me wouldn’t leave every other sunrise
Maybe i’d settle down dig in some roots
Find me a farmhouse find me you
Maybe i wouldn’t be already gone again
If it weren’t for the wind
I wouldn’t stay wonderin’ what’s out there
I wouldn’t saddle up on a breeze
I wouldn’t disappear out of thin air
I could put down these wings
Maybe that plane wouldn’t ever take off
Maybe that dust wouldn’t fly off the drive
Maybe that tumbleweed and me wouldn’t leave every other sunrise
Maybe i’d settle down dig in some roots
Find me a farmhouse find me you
Maybe i wouldn’t be already gone again
If it weren’t for the wind
Blowin carrying me to the wide open
White lines rollin’ and the tires smokin’
It wouldn’t be the rearview lookin’ in
If it weren’t for the wind
If it weren’t for the wind
Maybe that plane wouldn’t ever take off
Maybe that dust wouldn’t fly off the drive
Maybe that tumbleweed and me wouldn’t leave every other sunrise
Maybe i’d settle down dig in some roots
Find me a farmhouse find me you
Maybe i wouldn’t be already gone again
If it weren’t for the wind
If it weren’t for the wind
If it weren’t for the wind

More about the song
Ella Langley is set to release her new single, “Weren’t for the Wind”, on October 4, 2024. This track is the first of four new songs, possibly part of a deluxe edition of her debut album, Hungover. Langley has already made waves in the country music scene, going viral with her duet “You Look Like You Love Me” featuring Riley Green, and is currently climbing the country charts.
The song reflects on themes of change, uncertainty, and longing. In the lyrics, she contemplates how her life might be different if it weren’t for forces outside her control, like the wind that drives her away. The chorus hints at settling down and finding love, but concludes that perhaps the pull of adventure—or the “wind”—keeps her moving. The song is set against a midtempo production, balancing introspective lyrics with a reflective yet hopeful melody.
