panhandle poorboy

i was born in the dust bowl

a land of twister and tumbleweeds

you can drive for forty miles and never see a single tree

eighty days with no rain in sight

you can smell the feed lot if the wind s just right

if you wanna know who i am

just look where i'm from

i'm just a panhandle poorboy

forth generation born and bred

that old west texas dust is in my blood

it's where they'll lay me when i'm dead

it's just a rough and rugged land but it made me who i am

no matter where this life takes me

i know i'll always be just a panhandle poorboy

it's always boom or bust

either drought or flood

one day your choking on dust

the next day your knee deep in mud

barb wire and windmills reign

around here they're still the king

somethings never change

including me

i'm just a panhandle poorboy

forth generation born and bred

that old west texas dust is in my blood

it's where they'll lay me when i'm dead

it's just a rough and rugged land but it made me who i am

no matter where this life takes me

i know i'll always be just a panhandle poorboy

i'm just a panhandle poorboy

forth generation born and bred

that old west texas dust is in my blood

it's where they'll lay me when i'm dead

it's just a rough and rugged land but it made me who i am

no matter where this life takes me

i know i'll always be just a panhandle poorboy

i'm just a panhandle poorboy

forth generation born and bred

that old west texas dust is in my blood

it's where they'll lay me when i'm dead

it's just a rough and rugged land but it made me who i am

no matter where this life takes me

i know i'll always be just a panhandle poorboy
