Prairie Wind - Neil Young

Trying to remember what my daddy said

Before too much time took away his head

He said we’re going back and I’ll show you what I’m talking about

Going back to Cypress River, back to the old farmhouse

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Trying to remember what Daddy said)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

I tried to tell the people but they never heard a word I say

They say there’s nothing out there but wheat fields anyway

Just a farmer’s wife hanging laundry in her back yard

Out on the prairie where the winds blow long and hard

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Trying to remember what Daddy said)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

Late at night, lights dancing in the northern sky

Like the Indian spirits trying to show me how to fly

You can see into the future but it may be a mirage

Like a new car sitting there in your old garage

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Trying 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 hell of a sight

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

Prairie wind blowing through my head

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

Trying to remember what Daddy said

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

Before too much time took away his head

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

He said we’re going back and I’ll show you what I’m talking about

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

Going back to Cypress River, back to the old farmhouse

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)

(Trying to remember what Daddy said)

(Prairie wind blowing through my head)…
