about

This song was written about the wildfire that burned a large portion of the Columbia River Gorge the same summer as Owen's death.

lyrics

A few weeks back when the sun turned black
No open fires but open Rainier
Now the mountains are in flames I’m cryin to myself again
Bout rusty blood and salty tears

Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who will put out the flames

Chokin on the smoke is better than chokin on a rope
Is better than chokin on your own
Typically these folk are prone to take a joke
But less so since he left our home

Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who will put out the flames

When Eagle Creek is on fire
Multnomah Falls is on fire
The whole damn state is on fire
Yeah my heart is on fire
When Angel’s Rest is on fire
Ruckel Ridge is on fire
The whole damn country’s on fire
Yeah my soul is on fire

Whiskey and lemonade doesn’t quite dilute the pain
But it sure seems to thin the blood
And a gorge that’s in flames is hardly dampened by the rain
Though the ashes soon will turn to mud

Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who will put out the flames
Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who will put out the flames
Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who will put out the flames
Who is gonna put out the flames who will put out the flames
Who will put out the flames
