Burton Cummings - Up in the Canyon Lyrics

Up in the Canyon

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...

cnd could you keep me far above where they got the factories
cnd could you keep me far above where they keep the freeways
cnd could you keep me far above where they got the autos
cnd keep me so far above where they steal the hubcaps
cnd 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

cnd could you keep me far above where they got the factories
Keep me so far above where they got the freeways
cnd keep me so far above where they wear the gasmasks
cnd keep me so far above where they steal the hubcaps
Keep me so far above, far above, far above... all of those brown skies

Yeah, I'm up in the canyon
I'm up on a hill
Yeah, I'm up in the canyon
Mmm... gettin' my fill
Yeah I'm up in the
Yeah I'm up on a hill
Oh, I'm up in the canyon..
Far above...
