ELTON JOHN - American Triangle lyrics

rate me

Seen him playing in his backyard<br>Young boy just starting out<br>So much history in this landscape<br>So much confusion, so much doubt<br><br>Been there drinking on that front porch<br>Angry kids, mean and dumb<br>Looks like a painting, that blue skyline<br>God hates fags where we come from<br><br>'western skies' don't make it right<br>'home of the brave' don't make no sense<br>I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire<br>Left to die on a high ridge fence<br>It's a cold, cold wind<br>It's a cold, cold wind<br>It's a cold wind blowing, wyoming<br><br>See two coyotes run down a deer<br>Hate what we don't understand<br>You pioneers give us your children<br>But it's your blood that stains their hands<br><br>Somewhere that road forks up ahead<br>To ignorance and innocence<br>Three lives drift on different winds<br>Two lives ruined, one life spent
