Darryl Worley - Second Wind Lyrics






There's an old friendly breeze that blows in the Gulf of Mexico
Somehow it always knows when I'm feeling low
So I'm gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around
Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah that's how I'll pass the time

Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind

There's a peace in the way I feel when the water's still
And as long as it's calm out here I've got time to kill
But as soon as it starts to stir I'll lose track of the way things were
Float away on the open air, but I'm not going anywhere

Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind

Darryl Worley Second Wind Comments
  1. N.... E....

    I heard him sing this song tonight in Nashville and it honestly touched my soul. Life doesn’t always go as planned, but keeping faith that the wind will fill the sails of your life is everything. Prayers to Darryl on the anniversary of his mothers passing. Amazing performance tonight at the opry.

  2. A.... ....

    I've been waiting for mine the last eleven years. I just feel more dead inside every passing year.

  3. C.... T....

    I can relate.

  4. S.... U....

    God only knows why this is one of the most underrated songs ever. Anybody that's been through some life can feel this one.

  5. e.... ....

    A year after the pain of being dumped from an 18-year relationship, I finally realize that this song perfectly describes how I felt during that year of recovery.

  6. A.... C....

    Listening still in 2019

  7. A.... I....

    Always been a lover of the ocean and have always sought out sitting by the sea when I've been at my lowest point in life. I've watched sunsets over the water, prayed to a higher power, and let go of heartache and confusion many times, and walked away with a sense of peace and tranquility that one could only describe as the "strength to catch my second wind". Thank you, Mr. Worley, for such a beautifully written masterpiece.

  8. b.... ....

    this is me 100 percent!! great song to get that hurt out things can be rough.

  9. B.... W....

    Soumds good bud, missed you after all these years <3

  10. B.... B....

    Always loved Darryl.
    He's got so many great and meaningful songs.
    Just beautiful music that makes your heart feel good or swell up with American pride.

  11. M.... F....

    I've been looking for this song for years. Didn't know who sang it and was going by the wrong title...thought it was called 'Till The Coast Is Clear'. He's released it again and I just happend to find it. New version sounds great too. He's a little gray,but still really handsome and his voice better than ever! New album is called Second Wind.

  12. S.... D....

    He sounds like ths late Keith Whitley on this song.

  13. R.... ....

    There's an old friendly breeze that blows in the gulf of Mexico
    Somehow it always knows when I'm feelin' low

    So I'm gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around

    Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah that's how I'll pass the time


    Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again

    Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me

    I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear

    Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind


    There's a peace in the way I feel when the water's still

    And as long as it's calm out here I've got time to kill

    But as soon as it starts to stir I'll lose track of the way things were

    Float away on the open air, but I'm not going anywhere


    Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again

    Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me

    I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear

    Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind


    I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear



    Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind

    Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind

    @harleythemacaw1 Thanx so much for taking the time to respond to my comment. Thanx as well for your prayers. They are much appreciated, even more so when they come from a total stranger! I DO believe in the power of prayer so you can NEVER have too many, or too few for that matter. Thanx again & God Bless.

  87. S.... A....

    @unbeatableshooter I believe in the power of prayer as well & I believe that the good Lord has a plan for all our lives & things will happen the way & when they are supposed to. I have accepted that if this is God's plan for my life then there is a reason. I have been blessed in this lifetime so I have nothing else to do but pray for Him to carry out His plan to continue. Thank you for your comment. God Bless.

  88. S.... A....

    @BasementDweller09 Oh I assure u that my response to u was nuthin smart. I wanted to respond sumthin smart but I thought I would be the BIGGER & Better person & let it go. Seriously u should grow up. Stop using the Lord's name in vain. U truly r a very sorry person to tell sum1 that u piss where they want their ashes spread when they die. Even if u seriously piss in that ocean all that time why would u feel it nessacary to tell them that? And then respond again & say "May you rest in piss" ???

  89. S.... A....

    @BasementDweller09 I was gonna respond sumthin smart back but I am gonna be the bigger & better person here & not even dignfy your response with a response comment. Grow up tho!
    btw, u should know the difference between a lake & an ocean...

  90. S.... A....

    @unbeatableshooter Don't cry for me friend for I have been blessed in this lifetime. Truly blessed. =)

  91. S.... A....

    @TheDavowolf Thanx so very much for your comment. I appreciate more than you could possibly know. God Bless.

  92. S.... A....

    @pickforfood Thanx so very much for your prayers. I truly believe in the power of prayer & I can definitly use all I can get! Thanx again! God Bless.

  93. p.... ....

    @1970sarteaga I do pray you make a full recovery.Bless you.

  94. D.... ....

    Huge sympathy Sarteaga from across the water in the UK. DW is my very favourite artist and had the pleasure of watching him at the Riverside (Nashville) in 2009. One of the biggest compliments paid to me was from my son who thought I was a bit of a look-alike (I play guitar too). You may find some poignancy in Jo Dee's 'Was That My Life', with this song, a contender at my own funeral. Artists like these are a blessing, a treasure and a comfort.

  95. S.... A....

    @josh691978 Thanx so much for your blessing. It is appreciated more than you know!

  96. L.... S....

    My favorite song in the world.

  97. S.... A....

    I have Gastric Cancer/Stage 4 & I have told my husband that my wishes are to be cremated & my ashes spread in the ocean @ Orange Beach, AL (Gulf of Mexico). I have a letter written for him to read after I am gone and in it I have asked him to listen to this song. Thanx to Darryl for such a beautiful song with so much meaning. Thanx for uploading & posting so we have the privelege of listening to it. God Bless. <3
