Mid tempo song about a cowboy on the run.
Being in various pro bands in the '60's Vic got to work with talented people including "The Beatles" and Roger Miller.
He's met many stars including Cash, Or
Lyrics
Wind of Fortune © Dottie Corley & Vic Arnold 2012
A cool $500 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 rode into Amarrillo with two bits and dirty hands.
Battered boots and a moptail horse was all that cowboy had.
A hot and dusty thirst now led him to Pawnee Saloon,
where a dark haired, brown eyed beauty asked "What can I do for you?"
Though he swore he would never pray, all around him heard him say....
"Oh, heart be still. Wind of fortune blow on me. Lord, you got me.
You got me on my knees."
She took him by the heart and led him over to the bar.
Filled him up with whiskey and promised him the stars.
As dusk began to wrestle the sunlight from the sky,
he started warming up to her just like a virgin bride.
As she led him upstairs to her bed, he was smiling as he said ....
"Oh, heart be still. Wind of fortune blow on me. Lord, you got me.
You got me on my knees."
Inst.
Suddenly he felt a chill. The barrel was as cold as winter steel.
A Derringer pressed to his head, when he heard the hammer cock he said ....
"Oh, heart be still. Wind of fortune blow on me. Lord, you got me.
You got me on my knees.
Lord you got me, You got me on my knees.
Lord you got me, You got me on my knees."
