Chinook Wind |
I was born with the Chinook wind howlin in my ears |
That Rocky Mountain gusty shit, it dried me out for years |
Way back I think my grandpa had a rope horse by that name |
All I know is, God, here comes that old west wind again |
There’s lotsa kinds of problems and there’s lotsa kinds of pain |
Some will sweat the blazing sun and some rot in the rain |
Here we got the Chinook wind a blowin' every day |
It’s gonna send the good dirt east and leave a terrible migraine |
Let her blow, let her blow |
Whisper me things that I don’t know |
Let her blow, let her blow |
Let her blow away illusions like she melts the driftin' snow |
There comes a time I stood my ground and said I’ve had my fill |
Of that moisture sucking west wind roarin' in off them hills |
Before it flew me crazy I let it carry me away |
They told me, «Son you ain’t the first, that breeze will |
Drive a man insane» |
Let her blow, let her blow |
Whisper me things that I don’t know |
Let her blow, let her blow |
Let her blow away illusions like she melts the winter snow |
If you need me you can find me here waitin' on a change |
Staring at the distance and askin' what it takes |
To make that old Chinook turn back and blow the other way |
And maybe if I’m lucky have it blow me home again |
