Story Behind The Song
I guess I like to escape into the environment described. It's like creating a virtual reality. There's a freedom for which the wind serves as a totem. Many of my songs tend to paint this type of ambience.

Lyrics
Ridin The West Texas Wind
(Writer ? Jimmy Joe Lee)
If I?da left when I shoulda? left
I wouldn?t be here now
I?d be gazin? at stars instead of starin? through bars
Ridin? the west Texas wind; Ridin? the west Texas wind
Held up a bank in El Paso
Headed for old Mexico
But I stopped on the way at Rosalita?s Café
I?m just a fool Romeo; I?m just a fool Romeo
Oh Rosalita is sweeter than any girl I?ve ever known
She gives me lovin? and huggin? and all her charms when were alone
She gives me kisses and misses me when I?m far from home
Oh Rosalita is sweeter than any girl I?ve ever known
Rosalitas so soft and warm
West Texas nights can be cold
I held her close in my arms I didn?t hear the gendarmes
I was in no mood two run; I was in no mood two run,
