Lyrics:
There's something in the West Texas Wind
I like the way it makes a compass spin
Teaches the birds flamenco
All along the barbed wire
Drives a man to Mexico
on a long distant desire
Its a highway full of lonesome
Keeps me company again
There's something in the West Texas wind
Canyon Palo Duro carved out of the rain
echos of Vaqueros forever shall remain
I come out here sometimes
Like I was meeting an old friend
There's something in the West Texas wind
Something only mystery could begin
Something that could make a Gypsy grin
Drawn down from Durango
in fire colored sky
like an hechicero
with instructions for the night
who's learning how to listen
to the Indian within
There's something in the West Texas Wind
Something slipping by that just won't keep
Shades of the Rio Grande
that keep you from your sleep
Canyon Palo Duro carved out of the rain
echos of Vaqueros forever shall remain
I come out here sometimes
like I was meeting an old friend
There's something in the West Texas Wind
There's something in the West Texas Wind
