Burning Down the Prairie Lyrics by Ian Noe

River Fools & Mountain Saints

2022

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
And someone out there somewhere's been cutting down the buffalo
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And daddy's on a rampage, late at night I hear him crying
And daddy's on a rampage, every night I hear him crying
He said someone out there somewhere's been stalking like a mountain lion
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 5]
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
