lyrics

Pushing Back The Wind

There’s never been a day
I didn’t fall in love - In love with you again
When I try to change
It’s like I’m pushing back - Pushing back the wind

There’s always something wrong
Living in this world
Sometimes folks don’t feel like they belong
We’ve got to talk them in
‘Cause they’re just pushing back
Pushing back the wind

I put these hands to work each day
They’re rough and they show my age
But I held our babies
Gentle and true
Like the way that I held
Like the way that I held you

We’re far from where we came
Working in these fields
Breathing in this air
When I pray for rain
It’s like I’m pushing back
Pushing back the wind

Chorus

So let me say again
Living without you
That’s like pushing back
That’s like pushing back the wind
