Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seen him playin' in his backyard
Young boy, just startin' out
So much history in this landscape
So much confusion, so much doubt
[Verse 2]
Been there drinkin' on that front porch
Angry kids, mean and dumb
Looks like a paintin', that blue skyline
God hates fags where we come from
[Verse 3]
Western skies don't make it right
Home of the brave don't make no sense
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Left to die on a high ridge fence
It's a cold, cold wind, it's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
[Verse 4]
See two coyotes runnin' down a deer
Hate what we don't understand
You pioneers give us your children
But it's your blood that stains their hands
[Verse 5]
Western skies don't make it right
Home of the brave don't make no sense
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Left to die on a high ridge fence
It's a cold, cold wind, it's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowin', Wyoming
[Verse 6]
Somewhere that road forks up ahead
To ignorance and innocence
Three lives drift on different winds
Two lives ruined, one life spent
[Verse 7]
Western skies don't make it right
Home of the brave don't make no sense
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Left to die on a high ridge fence
It's a cold, cold wind, it's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
[Verse 8]
It's a cold, cold wind, it's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing, blowing, Wyoming
