lyrics

BAD WEATHER NEAR BUENA VISTA, CO.

The view looks good from where we are
You could almost believe in a world without war
Open valley, open hearts
But suddenly we look up to see
A whole new future
Just like that
Bad weather near Buena Vista
Coming from the mountains 'cross the Arkansas River.

Heading down to Santa Fe
Why does the world have such a lack of faith?
It's gone astray with too much hate
As suddenly we look up to see
A whole new future
Just like some
Bad weather near Buena Vista
Coming from the mountains 'cross the Arkansas River
Bad weather -we did not choose it
But you and I gonna have to ride right through it
That's all there is to it.


No one said it'll be an easy time
Rain's gonna fall and the road's gonna slide
Now's the time to open our eyes
Or all at once we'll lose the chance
Of a decent future
Just like that
Bad weather near Buena Vista
Coming from the mountains 'cross the Arkansas River
Bad weather -we did not choose it
But you and I gonna have to ride right through it
That's all there is to it.

Thirty miles to the Great Divide
Divide and rule is what they'll try
Bringing out the same old lies
About Black and White
To make them fight right out of sight in endless night
While those who have have all the rights
-But not if we unite
Reach out to each other
And ride a little closer together
Ride a little closer together
And if we're as one the day will come
We'll rise up singing
Right through that
Bad weather near Buena Vista
Coming from the mountains 'cross the Arkansas River
Bad weather -we did not choose it
But you and I gonna have to ride right through it
That's all there is to it.
