Prarie Wind

Prairie Wind

Verse 1

Thumbed a ride in Omaha, half dog in my boot.
Pulled it out, popped the top and offered this salute.
Heres to absent friends, and half forgotten dreams.
Driver never looked at me, at least thats how it seemed.

Chorus

Prairie wind keeps blowin, cross the old John Deer.
Shake the duct of winter, music to my ears.
What Id give for coffee, hot breakfast and a bed.
Comfort of a woman..some place to lay my head.

Verse 2

Time went by kind of slow, hear the tires hum.
Driver looked at me and said, Where you come from, son?
Heres the answer this I said, not too proud to borrow,
3rd star from the left, and onwards till tomarrow.

Chorus

Instrumental verse and Chorus sung

Verse 3

Told the driver, Drop me off, any town will do.
Play some cards, make some friends, guess Id had a few.
Found a game, staked my claim, money seemed to fly.
The sun was hot, the cards were not, Susanna dont you cry.

Chorus 2 X and end.
