Lyrics:
City lights
Been treatin' me right
On this side of the wall
I'm thinkin' it's time
To turn on a dime
For the Sierra Madre call
I caught wind
From a friend of a friend
Of mighty wealth untold
If the stories are true
Nothin' left to do
But head down to Mexico
Desert wind
Blowin' me away again
Now you're my only friend
I've got left to call
Bought a two-bit mule
From a horse-theivin' fool
To cross the Rio Grande alone
I had to steer clear
But I had not a fear
Where the federale roamed
Once I was through
I knew what to do
Had to send that old mule home
I'm now on the trail
That lead most to hell
After Pancho Villa's gold
Desert wind
Blowin' me away again
Now you're my only friend
I've got left to call
Desert wind
Blowin' me away again
Now you're my only friend
I've got left to call
Followed the words
That I'd been told
Amongst the hillside shadows cold
When I talked to him
I caught a chill
For the cavern it did hold
The answers to questions
That I never had
With riches I could hold
But truth of a man
Ain't built with hands
Or Pancho Villa's gold
It's that desert wind
Blowin' me home again
Now you're the only friend
That I'll ever call
It's that desert wind
Blowin' me home again
Now you're the only friend
I'll ever call

[aspectra]

Wow he needs to play this live more, this is some old school Western sounding country, the world needs more of this kind of country.

[pgrove]

I really like the use of the steel guitar in his music, it's subtle and not overdone and cartoonish. Just discovered him recently and he sounds so much better than 90% of "country" nowadays.

[kennethrogers]

"The truth of a man ain't built with hands or Pancho Villa's gold."
Wow. What a good line.

[bryceharney]

The lyrics to this are beyond relatable.

[ruger]

I ain't heard a single song by him that I haven't loved!

[Lucky-wfmu]

Cody, you amaze me with every album. You just keep getting better, and better while keeping true to what country was supposed to sound like!

[papimew]

Cody Jinks keeping that country alive !

[stephanieredden]

I've had this CD for about five years and it's a good one. Desert Wind, 7th Floor, Head Case and Might be the Whiskey are my favorite songs on it.

[robbierice]
