[Verse 1]
Fresh tracks in the pasture
Gate hangin' open wide
Your cap still on the fencepost
Like you just ran inside
That old four-wheeler's parked now
Mud dried along the tin
But if I stand here long enough
I swear I hear you again
[Chorus]
If I stand quiet in this field
I can hear him in the wind
Laughin' round that last sharp turn
Sayin', "C'mon, let her spin"
He went out ridin' wide and wild
Just like he always did
If I stand quiet in this field
I can hear him in the wind
[Verse 2]
Your boots by the back door
Dust we can't bring to clean
Sun drops behind the hay bales
Sky burns and then goes dim
But when that cool breeze rolls on through
It sounds a lot like him
[Chorus]
If I stand quiet in this field
I can hear him in the wind
Laughin' round that last sharp turn
Sayin', "C'mon, let her spin"
He went out ridin' wide and wild
Just like he always did
If I stand quiet in this field
I can hear him in the wind
[Bridge]
I talk out loud like you're still here
"Man, you see that storm roll in?"
I feel that rush across my face
Like your hand on mine again
You chased that freedom down these rows
Till the good Lord called you in
Now every rustle of this grass
Is you racin' on the wind
[Chorus]
If I stand quiet in this field
I can hear him in the wind
Laughin' round that last sharp turn
Sayin', "C'mon, let her spin"
He went out ridin' wide and wild
Just like he always did
If I stand quiet in this field
I can hear him in the wind
