Because of the Wind Lyrics


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 lineHave 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' fineShe 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 meDo 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Gilmore is a native of the Texas Panhandle, having been born in Amarillo, Texas and raised in Lubbock, Texas. His earliest musical influence was Hank Williams and the honky tonk brand of country music that his father played. In the 1950s, he was exposed to the emerging rock and roll of other Texans such as Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and Lubbock native Buddy Holly. He was profoundly influenced in the 1960s by the likes of The Beatles and Bob Dylan and the folk music and blues revival in that decade.
