Saint George Youve Got Mine and I Want Your by Marcus Koncar Lyrics
[Intro]
And the ground rose up and cracked
After years of erosion it couldn't stand
And my eyes rose up and saw
The rolling red hills of Southern Utah
[Verse]
We drove south, something innocent back then
And I'm writing this from a Best Western Inn
We passed by Cedar and Toquerville
We passed by Beaver and Hurricane
And when we arrived at our destination
My little head couldn't handle it
I thought that those red rocks
Could have been a new home for us
[Chorus]
But somе things just go away
And I wish that we could have stayed
And I thought it was all for mе
And I thought I was all you'd need
[Verse]
But I was your drug mule
Your pack brahman
And your sword and shield
But when my use was done
The trip home had already begun
[Bridge]
And in my anger I just wanted it to burn
A great fire over Southern
Utah, I've got this great passion
Oh God, that starvin' feelin' of passin'
[Chorus]
But some things are just better off dead
And I don't really mean that
But some things, they just have to die
And as your child in Saint George, I couldn't have survived
And I often wonder
If you could have better
So I'll hold myself up to that flame
And see what memories, what love remains
[Outro]
But I, I should know
That there are some things I just cannot mend
Or you will be that red blanket that will bring me to my end
And the ground rose up and cracked
After years of erosion it couldn't stand
And my eyes rose up and saw
The rolling red hills of Southern Utah
[Verse]
We drove south, something innocent back then
And I'm writing this from a Best Western Inn
We passed by Cedar and Toquerville
We passed by Beaver and Hurricane
And when we arrived at our destination
My little head couldn't handle it
I thought that those red rocks
Could have been a new home for us
[Chorus]
But somе things just go away
And I wish that we could have stayed
And I thought it was all for mе
And I thought I was all you'd need
[Verse]
But I was your drug mule
Your pack brahman
And your sword and shield
But when my use was done
The trip home had already begun
[Bridge]
And in my anger I just wanted it to burn
A great fire over Southern
Utah, I've got this great passion
Oh God, that starvin' feelin' of passin'
[Chorus]
But some things are just better off dead
And I don't really mean that
But some things, they just have to die
And as your child in Saint George, I couldn't have survived
And I often wonder
If you could have better
So I'll hold myself up to that flame
And see what memories, what love remains
[Outro]
But I, I should know
That there are some things I just cannot mend
Or you will be that red blanket that will bring me to my end
