(Verse I)
Once upon a time, you could ask anyone.
They all knew my name; the comfort of my guns.
We stood against corruption, and the evil ones,
who set out to steal our creed, and enslave our sons!
If you'd been where I've gone, and seen what I saw,
(Chorus Refrain)
you'd Scatter My Ashes, everywhere, anywhere but Utah!
Scatter My Ashes everywhere, but Utah!

(Verse II)
No; I'm not a ghost, just a memory of one.
It's been so long ago, it's almost forgotten,
how with bullets dipped in greed, they shot into the sun,
to leave us all down here to bleed, in darkness, on the run!
I'm not, askin', you to go and break the law!
Just Scatter My Ashes everywhere, anywhere but Utah!
Scatter My Ashes everywhere, but Utah!

(Bridge)
Carry me through Wyoming, into the Great White North!
Spill me out into the wind! Let me issue forth!
Let the lightning storm, nature raging, raw!
Scatter My Ashes everywhere, anywhere but Utah!
Scatter My Ashes everywhere, but Utah!

(Verse III)
Utah is hallowed ground, good earth for to grow!
A place to raise your children, so long as you don't go,
against the grain of greed, of those who run it all!
They got their grubby hands on the powers of the Law!
If my son grows up, tell him of his Pa!
'n Scatter My Ashes everywhere, anywhere but Utah!
Scatter My Ashes everywhere, but Utah!
