                  G
I was born in the dust bowl
                      Em7
A land of twister and tumbleweeds
                  Cadd9              
You can drive for forty miles 
                D
And never see a single tree

                    G 
Eighty days with no rain in sight
                                  Em7
You can smell the feed lot if the winds just right
                  Cadd9
If you wanna know who I am
                    D
Just look where I'm from


Chorus:
                     G
I'm just a panhandle poorboy
                  Em7
Fourth generation born and bred
              Cadd9
That old West Texas dust is in my blood
                   D  
It's where they'll lay me when I'm dead
                      G
It's just a rough and rugged land 
               Em7   
But it made me who I am
                     Cadd9
No matter where this life takes me
            D                          G 
I know I'll always be just a panhandle poorboy


It's always boom or bust
Either drought or flood
One day your choking on dust
The next day your knee deep in mud

Barb wire and windmills reign
Around here they're still the king
Somethings never change
Including me

Chorus

Steel solo
