Elton John - American Triangle (Album Ver.)

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
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
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
It's a cold cold wind
It's a cold cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing
blowing wind blowing
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
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
Somewhere that road forks up ahead
To ignorance and innocence
Three lives drift on

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
It's a cold cold wind
It's a cold cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing
blowing wind blowing
