  • I knew you before we met
    We don't need all the answers yet
    And I'm sure time will change me some
    You see what I could become

    So much left to figure out
    I never took the easy route
    I was born with my boots on
    Will you take 'em off me when I'm gone?

    I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
    Like the prairies love the plains
    If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
    I'll be the wind behind the rain

    I wanna see you smiling when you're ninety
    And I'll always see you like you are right now
    All my wild beginnings are behind me
    And I know that we can stick it out somehow

    Oh, I wanted you the first time that I saw you
    In that bar where all my friends left me behind
    I wasn't even fishing when I caught you
    But I always had your picture in my mind

    I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
    Like the prairies love the plains
    If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
    I'll be the wind behind the rain

    I love you like the ocean loves the silver moon
    Like Frank and Jesse loved the train
    If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
    I'll be the wind behind the rain Writer/s: Michael Jason Isbell
