Caddo County Songtext
von Verlon Thompson

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
