Burning Down The Prairie

(альбом: River Fools & Mountain Saints - 2022)

Burning down the prairie
Got a handful of river cane
Burning down the prairie
Got a handful of river cane
I'm just sitting up on this hillside
Praying to God it doesn't rain

We've been healing from a winter
That brought us more than sleet and snow
We've been healing from a winter
That brought us more than sleet and snow
You know someone out there somewhere's
Been cutting down the buffalo

Well, we followed bloody footprints
For many miles along the creek
Yeah, we followed bloody footprints
For many miles along the creek
Well, someone out there somewhere's
Been walking with two wicked feet

And daddy's on a rampage
Late at night I hear him crying
Daddy's on a rampage
Every night I hear him crying
He said someone out there somewhere's
Been stalking like a mountain lion

And I can see 'em coming now
Covered up in bone and hide
Yeah, I can see 'em coming now
And they're covered up in bone and hide
Burning down the prairie
Raving mad and wild-eyed
