Panhandle Wind
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Billy Joe Foster, Luke Houston Reed, Russell Steagall
[3/4 time]

C                         F              C
My grandparents came here from Yell Arkansas
                         D7                     G7
They built them a soddie on the Sulphur Springs draw
C                            F         Em
Scratched out a living for a family of ten
       C                     G7               C
With a faith that was strong as the panhandle wind

                                   F              C
All those tall Texas tales Grandpa passed down to me
                           D7                G7
Are still just as vivid as when I sat on his knee
C                             F              Em
But what I remember about the tales he would spin
   C                      G7               C
Is how he would cuss that blamed panhandle wind

   F                                               C
It taught the coyote to howl makes the tumbleweeds roll
                            D7                G7
It controlled the migration of the great buffalo
          F                                  Em
Makes the salt cedar sing and the cottonwood bend
     C                  G7               C
Your constant companion is the panhandle wind

                               F             C
It sweeps off the Rockies like a fast movin' train
                          D7                 G7
Brings a sky full of dust and a few drops of rain
   C                                F               Em
It usually blows from the North but it's subject to change
   C                   G7               C
As it sculpts the face of the panhandle plains

                            F           C
It just took my hat off and blowed it a mile
                      D7               G7
I broke out a cussin' and I managed to smile
    C                       F            Em
I'd rather be here than any place I have been
    C                      G7             C
But I'll never get used to this panhandle wind

Repeat #3

                      G7             C
You never get used to this panhandle wind
