American Triangle

Elton John

verse 1 Seen him playing in his backyard Young boy just starting out So much history in this landscape So much confusion, so much doubt Been there drinking on that front porch Angry kids, mean and dumb Looks like a painting, that blue skyline God hates fags where we come from '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 2 See two coyotes run down a deer Hate what we don't understand You pioneers give us your children But it's your blood that stains their hands '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 Bridge Somewhere that road forks up ahead To ignorance and innocence Three lives drift on different winds Two lives ruined, one life spent '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 Outro It's a cold, cold wind 2x It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
