Story behind the song
Dottie Corley sent me some cool lyrics. We altered, added and put music and melody to it. Now Andy Kemp has added some awesome lead guitar.
Lyrics
Wind of Fortune Dottie Corley & Vic Arnold © 2012 A cool 500 dollars was the price upon his head He wasn't in the town that day but that's not what they said A scapegoat for their justice he was bound to cut and run A target now for any man or woman with a gun He road into Amarillo with two bits n dirty hands Battered boots, mop tail horse, was all that cowboy had Hankering for some whiskey he stepped in Pawnee saloon A dark haired brown eyed beauty asked "what can I do for you” Pre-chorus Though he swore he would never pray All around him heard him say Chorus Ohhh ….. Heart be still Wind of fortune, blow on me Lord You got me Yeah you got me, on my knees Well she took him by the heart led him over to the bar Then she filled him full of whiskey and promised him the stars As dusk began to wrestle sunlight from the sky She started warming up to him just like a virgin bride Pre-chorus When she led him upstairs to her bed He was smiling as he said Chorus Bridge Suddenly he felt a chill The barrel was cold as winter steel The derringer pressed to his head When he heard the hammer cock he said Chorus
