Joe Ely - Because of the Wind lyrics

rate me

Do you know why the trees bend

At the west Texas border?

Do you know why they bend

Sway and twine?

The trees bend because of the wind

Across that lonesome border

The trees bend because of the wind

Almost all the time.

Have you seen my Caroline

Up in Amarillo

Have you seen my Caroline

The one that I call mine

Well, if you see my Caroline

With her hair of yellow

If you see my Caroline

Tell her I'm doin' fine.

She is to me like the breeze

That blows from Corpus Christi

She is to me like the breeze

That blows up from the sea

Now if she is like the breeze

That blows from Corpus Christi

Then I must be like the trees,

Cause Caroline blows through me.

Do you know why the trees bend

At the west Texas border?

Do you know why they bend

Sway and twine?

The trees bend because of the wind

Across that lonesome border

The trees bend because of the wind

Almost all the time.
