	We often feel like we throw a rope around our hopes and dreams, just to see them slip right through the loop! This song speaks to who we are as human beings, what so many of us experience! This song speaks straight to the soul!

	Story Behind the Song This song truly typifies how I've felt much of my life! I'd reach out and work at something, only to see it slip through the cracks. I was left feeling like a cowboy trying to rope the wind... When I realized most people felt the same way I did, I felt I had to write about it! This song was written in Germany on a hillside overlooking a little village named Otterberg! The song only took about an hour to write initially, then I repolished the lyrics and chord changes for the next couple weeks. Lyrics ROPIN THE WIND Lyrics by Doug Adkins Music by Doug Adkins & Gerd Vogel There I was, on a hillside standin' all alone Like a rider in a storm, out on his own Deep in the darkness, saw my dreams fade in the night Turned my head to the left, then to the right Said there's just some things you can't make right I'm like a cowboy ropin' the wind, I ask myself, Where in this world do I fit in Throw my rope around a dream Then it slips right through my fingers again Like a cowboy, ropin' the wind They always told me, that my life would shine so bright Now I'm standin' in the moonlight, I wanna know Should I turn left or right I'm like a cowboy ropin' the wind, I ask myself, Where in this world do I fit in Throw my rope around a dream Then it slips right through my fingers again Like a cowboy, ropin' the wind I just gotta know Where my world will go from here I ask myself that age-old question What the hell am I doin' here They always told me, that my life would shine so bright Now I'm standin' in the moonlight, I gotta know Should I turn left or right I'm like a cowboy ropin' the wind, I ask myself Where in this world do I fit in Throw my rope around a dream Then it slips right through my fingers again Like a cowboy, ropin' the wind We’re like cowboys ropin' the wind, We ask ourselves Where in this world do we fit in Throw a rope around our dreams Then it slips right through our fingers again Like cowboys, ropin' the wind
