Lyrics
The west wind blasts the Rockies
Like Devil breath from hell
I'm guessin' you'll be leavin' soon
But only time will tell.
Lately you've been lookin' parched and
The pines are cracklin' dry
You don't even smile
When I bring flowers
And I'm tired
Of wondering why...
You didn't try.
I'll just sit and watch while Utah burns
Maybe there's a lesson here,
Some truth I'll never learn
I won't run for cover
'Cause dyin's no concern,
Instead I'll sit and watch while Utah burns
Let Utah burn
They say its global warming
That's got us in this mess
For me, it was your Sunday smile
And a low cut satin dress.
When I think back on all the things
That made our love a lie
The hiss of burnin' timber
Sounds like music from
A long lost lullaby,
But I won't cry.
I'll just sit and watch while Utah burns
Maybe there's a lesson here,
Some truth I'll never learn
I won't run for cover
'Cause dyin's no concern
Instead I'll sit and watch while Utah burns
No matter who I blame
My life will never be the same
If we can't share tomorrow
Just let it all go up in flames.
I'll just sit and watch while Utah burns
Maybe there's a lesson here,
Some truth I'll never learn
I won't run for cover
'Cause dyin's no concern
Instead I'll sit and watch while Utah burns
Let it burn, let it burn
Let Utah burn....
