Son, you could never rope the wind
To stop the tide from rolling in
Or going out
Just like you can't find the words to say
To change her mind and make her wanna stay
Right now

When she takes that first step to leaving
It's a winding road that never ends
Until she finds a road to healing
That brings her back to you again

Wild horses couldn't hold her, son
It ain't you she's running from
You gotta let her go
No, I can't tell you what she'll do
Even if you're walking in her shoes
It's hard to know

When she takes that first step to leaving
It's a winding road that never ends
Until she finds a road to healing
That brings her back to you again

When the voice of the reason says, "Just walk away"
The heart's gonna beg for one more day

When she takes that first step to leaving
It's a winding road that never ends
Until she finds a road to healing
That brings her back to you again

Until she finds a road to healing
That brings her back to you again
