Up In The Canyon

Burton Cummings

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 gas masks

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
