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 across that lonesome border
The trees bend because of the wind almost all the time
Have you seen my Caroline up in Amarillo?
Have you seen my Caroline the one that I call mine?
Well, if you see my Caroline with her hair of yellow
If you see my Caroline tell her I'm doin' fine
(steel guitar solo one time around)
She is to me like the breeze that blows from Corpus Christi
She is to me like the breeze that blows up from the sea
Now if she is like the breeze that blows from Corpus Christi
Then I must be like the trees 'cause Caroline blows through me
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 across that lonesome border
The trees bend because of the wind almost all the time
The trees bend because of the wind almost all the time
