[Intro: instrumental, guitar] [Verse 1] One traffic light blinking yellow, Where the feed store meets the road, You'd come in off your family's land, With the sundown on your coat… I carried words like pocket change That I never meant to spend, Our eyes would catch, then drift away, And that's where it would end. [Pre-Chorus] Till the night I held the door, And spent the words I'd saved, You laughed and said I took my time, And neither of us looked away. [Chorus] You're the one I can't get over, The one I was afraid to lose, I held my heart to keep it safe, Held it till it broke in two… Now every time that Wyoming wind, Comes rolling through the blue, I swear I hear you calling me, And I still turn toward you. [Verse 2] We rode out past the fence line, Till the ranch lights all went dark, Shared a blanket by the creek bed, Counting satellites and stars… I learned your quiet laughter, You learned my guarded side, You'd watch the eastern sky a while Before you closed your eyes. [Pre-Chorus] Then the town began to shrink, Under skies that never change, You asked me if I'd ever leave— And I just looked away. [Instrumental: Guitar, emotive] [Bridge] You headed east before the winter, I helped you pack and took it slow, I held the truck door one last time, And never said, "Don't go"… By spring you came back looking, But I'd left before the thaw, My old truck sat behind the station, Your name scratched on the wall… [Final Chorus] You're the one I can't get over, The one I was afraid to lose, I held my heart to keep it safe, Held it till it broke in two… Now every time that Wyoming wind, Comes rolling through the blue, I don't reach for you anymore, But I still turn toward you. [Outro] The radio fades to static Somewhere past the county line, I wonder where you are tonight, And if your road still bends toward mine… [End: sustained final chord, gentle fade] © 2026 Synkov LLC.
