Windblown

It's too hot for the corn and the grain

And the cotton's not gettin' much rain

And why anyone lives on the plains

Ain't nobody knows



Years that seem not to end

Go out like a lion and then

Springtime comes stragglin' in

All windblown

It's a lovely sight for sore eyes

But it's all windblown



Do you think it's unkind to suppose

That the desert's no home for a rose

Guess I'll always wish I could know

Things that you never told me



Sometimes it's so real I could swear

I can see you standin' right there

With the sand in your eyes and your hair

All windblown

What a welcome sight you would be tonight

All windblown



There's a whisper I hear on the breeze

Like a ghost that drifts through the trees

Like a song that somebody sings

Nobody knows it



A dust devil danced down the street

Gathered the trash in a heap

Like a gift it just fell at my feet

All windblown

What a treasure your memory is

Even if it's all windblown
