Desert Wind

[Verse 1]

City lights

Ain't treatin' me right

On this side of the wall

I'm thinkin' it's time

To turn on a dime

For the Sierra Madre call

I caught wind

From a friend of a friend

Of mighty wealth untold

If the stories are true

Nothin' left to do

But head down to Mexico

[Chorus]

Desert wind

Blowin' me away again

Now you're my only friend

I've got left to call

[Verse 2]

Bought a two-bit mule

From a horse-theivin' fool

To cross the Rio Grande alone

I had to steer clear

But I had not a fear

Where the federale roamed

Once I was through

I knew what to do

Had to send that old mule home

I'm now on the trail

That lead most to hell

After Pancho Villa's gold

[Chorus]

Desert wind

Blowin' me away again

Now you're my only friend

I've got left to call

[Chorus]

Desert wind

Blowin' me away again

Now you're my only friend

I've got left to call

[Verse 3]

Followed the words

That I'd been told

Amongst the hillside shadows cold

When I talked to him

I caught a chill

For the cavern it did hold

The answers to questions that I never had

With riches I could hold

But truth of a man ain't built with hands or Pancho Villa’s gold

[Chorus]

It's that desert wind

Blowin' me home again

Now you're the only friend

That I'll ever call

[Chorus]

It's that desert wind

Blowin' me home again

Now you're the only friend

I'll ever call
