So much confusion, so much doubt
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
Three lives drift on different winds
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
'Western skies', don't make it right
So much history in this landscape
Heeding what we don't understand
'Home of the brave', don't make no sense
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
I've been there drinking on that front porch
But it's your blood that stains their hands
You pioneers give us your children
'Home of the brave', don't make no sense
It's a cold, cold wind, it's a cold, cold wind
Somewhere that road forks up ahead
I've seen the scarecrow wrapped in wire
'Western skies', don't make it right
Left to die on a high ridge fence
It's a cold, cold wind, it's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold, cold wind, it's a cold, cold wind
'Western skies', don't make it right
To ignorance and innocence
Two lives ruined, once life spent
I've seen the scarecrow wrapped in wire
It's a cold, cold wind, it's a cold, cold wind
Seen two coyotes running down a hill
I've seen the scarecrow wrapped in wire
Looks like a painting, that blue skyline
Left to die on a high ridge fence
Left to die on a high ridge fence
'Home of the brave', don't make no sense
Angry kids, mean and dumb
God hates fags where we come from
