Because Of The Wind

Do you know why the trees bend at the west Texas border?

Do you know why they bend and sway and twine?

The trees bend because of the wind along that lonesome border

The trees bend because of the wind, all along the line

Have you seen my Caroleen up in Amarillo?

Have you seen my Caroleen, the one that I call mine?

Well, if you see my Caroleen with her hair of yellow

If you see my Caroleen, tell her I'm doin' fine

She is to me just like the breeze that blows from Corpus Christi

She is to me just like the breeze that blows up from the sea

Well, if she is like the breeze that blows from Corpus Christi

Then I must be like the trees 'cause Caroleen blows through me

Do you know why the trees bend at the west Texas border?

Do you know why they bend and sway and twine?

The trees bend because of the wind along that lonesome border

The trees bend because of the wind, almost all the time

The trees bend because of the wind, all along the line
