Seen him playing in his backyardA young boy just starting outSo much history in this landscapeSo much confusion, so much doubtBeen there drinking on that front porchAngry kids, mean and dumbLooks like a painting, that blue skylineGod hates fags where we come fromChorus*Western skies don't make it rightHome of the brave don't make no senseI've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wireLeft to die on a high ridge fenceIt's a cold, cold windIt's a cold, cold windIt's a cold wind blowing, WyomingSee two coyotes running down a deerHate what we don't understandYou pioneers give us your childrenBut it's your blood that stains their handsChorus*
Somewhere that road forks up aheadTo ignorance and innocenceThree lives drift on different windsTwo lives ruined, one life spentChorus*
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 It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing,
Blowing, Wyoming
