[Verse 1]
Do you know why the trees bend at the west Texas border?
Do you know why they bend, 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
[Verse 2]
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]
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 1]
Do you know why the trees bend at the west Texas border?
Do you know why they bend, 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
