Tryin' to remember what my Daddy said
Before too much time took away his head
He said we're goin' back and I'll show you what I'm 
talkin' about
Goin' back to Cypress River, back to the old farm 
house

Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Tryin' to remember what Daddy said
Prairie wind blowin' through my head

I tried to tell the people but they never heard a 
word I said
They say there's nothin' out there but wheatfields 
anyway 
Just the farmer's wife hangin' laundry in her
backyard
Out on the prairie where winds blow long and hard   

Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Tryin' to remember what Daddy said
Prairie wind blowin' through my head

Late at night, lights dancin' in the northern sky
Like the Indian spirits, tryin' to show me how to fly
You can see into the future but it may be a mirage
Like a new car sittin' there in your old garage

Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Tryin' to remember what Daddy said

There's a place on the prairie where evil and 
goodness play
Daddy told me all about it but I don't remember what 
he said                                
It might be afternoon and it might be the dead of 
night
But you'll know when you see it 'cause it sure is a 
helluva sight

Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Prairie wind blowin' through my head
Tryin' to remember what Daddy said
Prairie wind blowin' through my head

Repeats.....
