Trying to remember what my daddy said
|
Before too much time took away his head
|
He said we're going back and I'll show you what I'm talking about
|
Going back to Cypress River, back to the old farmhouse
|
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Trying to remember what Daddy said)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
|
I tried to tell the people but they never heard a word I say
|
They say there's nothing out there but wheat fields anyway
|
Just a farmer's wife hanging laundry in her back yard
|
Out on the prairie where the winds blow long and hard
|
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Trying to remember what Daddy said)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
|
Late at night, lights dancing in the northern sky
|
Like the Indian spirits trying to show me how to fly
|
You can see into the future but it may be a mirage
|
Like a new car sitting there in your old garage
|
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Trying to remember what Daddy said)
|
|
There's a place on the prairie where evil and goodness play
|
Daddy told me all about it but I don't remember what he said
|
It might be afternoon and it might be the dead of night
|
But you'll know when you see it 'cause it sure is a hell of a sight
|
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
|
Prairie wind blowing through my head
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
Trying to remember what Daddy said
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
Before too much time took away his head
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
He said we're going back and I'll show you what I'm talking about
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
Going back to Cypress River, back to the old farmhouse
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)
|
(Trying to remember what Daddy said)
|
(Prairie wind blowing through my head)...
