Hopesablaze

When the west was rich with cowboys you found your man
 The Ex had taken it badly, had been in love madly, in love with my land
 Moving trucks backed to the door and all the neighbors knew the score
 A beaming bride and old cowboy on the road again
 Said "Jump in the car girl, let's get outta town"
 Had no idea we'd come back to what we found
 Now we'll never really know (take a guess) who burned down our nest
 We'll never put a face to the name who set our hopes ablaze
 Comin' up over the ridge, smoke in the air
 Oh my God, my dear, the hilltop is burning, our home should be there
 Tire tracks fresh in the snow
 Gas cans on the front lawn glow
 Comin' up over the ridge, smoke in the air
 Now we'll never really know (take a guess) who burned down our nest
 We'll never put a face to the name who set our hopes ablaze
 The snow fell as hard as our dreams and the blaze lit the eastern sky
 We held each other close and we knew we'd make it through the night
