Caddo County

Grapes of Wrath story, you know

But it's serious out there

Bless you

Just talkin' about all that sand and dry wind

Set off your allergies

I know it, it does the same thing to me

Just thinking about it

Well the constant wind across the sand

It can whittle down the toughest man

And that cold sneaks underneath the door

Till you don't think you can take no more

And that summer sun gets hot as hell

And it dries up all your wishing wells

So you build your dream and wait around

For that next blue northern to tear it down

And you can't change Caddo County

And you can stay or you can go

But you can't change Caddo County

You see the same old wind will always blow

And my dad said, "Son, let me tell you now

You don't have to follow that same old plough

Said there's a big old world across the county line

You can come home if you change your mind"

But you can't change Caddo County

And you can stay or you can go

But you can't change Caddo County

Oh, that same old wind will always blow

You can't change Caddo County

You can stay, boy, or you can go

But you can't change Caddo County

Oh, the same old wind will always blow

And that constant wind across the sand

Well, I deal with it the best I can

What you can't change you get used to

Till they throw that cattle dirt on you
