Up In The Canyon

Song Up In The Canyon
Artist Burton Cummings
Album Above The Ground

Lyrics

Some folks are walkin' round prayin' for rain
Others like the weather fair
Some are standin' waitin' for a summer breeze
I tell you that I just don't care
'Cause I'm up in the canyon
I'm up on a hill
I'm up in the canyon
I'm gettin' my fill
Some folks are sayin' that the big one's comin'
To me it's just a bucket of talk
Stayin' where I am and I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm sittin' on a solid rock
Yeah I'm up in the canyon
I'm up on a hill
I'm up in the canyon
Gettin' my fill
And could you keep me far above where they got the factories
And could you keep me far above where they keep the freeways
And could you keep me far above where they got the autos
And keep me so far above where they steal the hubcaps
And keep me so far above, far above, far above
All of those brown skies
I'm not really curious who my neighbors are
We'll never be the best of friends
Once or twice a year if it's a special day
I might send them my polite amends
But I'm up in the canyon
I'm up on a hill
I'm up in the canyon
I'm gettin' my fill
And could you keep me far above where they got the factories
And keep me so far above where they got the freeways
And keep me so far above where they wear the gasmasks
And keep me so far above whee they steal the hubcaps
And keep me so far above, far above, far above
All of those brown skies
