There's a storm blowing West
Carried by semi trucks and asphalt
Crushing trees and scarring our mountains
Choking grass with smoke
Leveling the land with saw and money
To build cities
That bleed suburbs
That clog rivers
A purity broken through no choice of his own
The only choice he made was to try to ignore it
There's a storm blowing West
Choking everything with smoke
He chose to live among elk
To sleep by fire instead of an alarm
To ride a horse, not drive a car
But that semi truck came and broke that man's back
While a screaming horse named Whiskey
Gets shot
By a sheriff on shift
