Prairie Wind
Seventeen years old, leaving Saskatoon
Now she's heading west, be in Lotusland soon.
She'll get a job, no it can't be that hard
For now she's on the streets, here comes another car
As the storm comes
Natures taking hold
She thought she'd be warm here
Prairie wind it blows cold
Family man, wife and daughter in the burbs
One day he leaves them all, not another word
On a beach down Mexico way
As he downs another drink, still sees his little girls face
As the storm comes
Natures taking hold
He thought he'd be warm here
Prairie wind it blows cold
It's so cold
I'm so cold
Prairie wind it blows cold
A long time ago
I lived in a city, a city so cold
If I close my eyes
I'm back there in my mind
I can't run and hide
Prairie wind it blows cold
It's so very cold
I'm so cold
Prairie wind it blows cold
It's getting chilly
Get my mittens and a toque
Eighteen years old, back in Saskatoon
Momma let her back again, momma changed her tune
But ain't nothing changed, it's the same old scam
And momma's too drunk to hear the front door slam.
As the storm comes
Natures taking hold
She thought she'd be warm here
Prairie wind it blows, blows so cold
As the storm comes
Like I fortold
Ain't nobody warm here
