about

Named for a fictitious - yet nonetheless wild - night at the infamous paranormal Utah ranch, this rowdy opening burner employs nearly every instrument in the Cottonwood Boy’s arsenal. Infused with folklore, witty supernatural imagery, and references to paranormal pop culture, “Skinwalker Ranch” is an Americana work in its own category, walking the barbed-wire fence between stomp grass and fast-pickin’ country.

lyrics

Well the boys and I set up our tents
Lookin' for a scare, haven't found one yet
The night is young just waitin' for a chance

The air grew cold and the branches cracked,
A coyote howled and we chugged some Jack
Drinkin' down at Skinwalker Ranch

Well our guide was drunk with a beer in hand
Turned into a lady instead of a man
The cactuses they all began to dance

I felt the hairs raise on my neck
Blame it on the triple-sec
Somethin's goin' down at Skinwalker Ranch

Skinwalker, walkin' this way
Please lord let me live to see another day
Thought it was a joke but the jokes on me
We'll see y'all in the next documentary.

We didn't read the sign on the barbed wire fence
Now we're doin' shots with the aliens
They think they're funny stealin' all of our pants

We heard the legend and all the lore
Turns out E.T. is a fan of Coors
Drinkin' down at Skinwalker Ranch

I gave up my wits and picked up a beer
Turns out I've been kissing deer
The desert's full of strange romance

Woke up in bed but I wasn't alone
A lady wolf had followed me home
Drinkin' down at Skinwalker Ranch

Not as scared as they said I'd be
Now a cursed woman's mackin' on me
What an eerie circumstance

Not the worst kiss that I've had
Don't know how I'll introduce her to my dad
Drinkin' down at Skinwalker Ranch

Skinwalker, walkin' this way
Please lord let me live to see another day
Thought it was a joke but the jokes on me
We'll see y'all in the next documentary.

Skinwalker, walkin' this way
Please lord let me live to see another day
Thought it was a joke but the jokes on me
We'll see y'all in the next documentary.

We'll see y'all in the next documentary.

Cottonwood Boys Rapid City, South Dakota

Acoustic Strummin', Pickin,' and Hollerin.'

From the oily floors of the garage to the sticky counters of the bar, the Cottonwood Boys sound speaks to anyone who's wondering "Where is a song about me?"

Bluegrass? Alt Country? Mountain Music? They aren't sure.

In fact, they are too busy trying to sell a song or find a meal to really care but they'll hear you out.
