Western Skies

The nashville friends think i'm strange to make my home out on the range



Think it's nothin but a God forsaken land



Why don't you bring your guitar and family, move on down to tennesse



Well, I just smile because they don't understand



But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin?



Or watched those cotton candy clouds roll by



They'd know why I live beneath these western skies



Verse 2



I got peace of mind and elbow room I love the smell of sage in bloom



Catch a rainbow on my fishin? line



We got county fairs and rodeos, ain't a better place for my kids to grow



Just turn 'em loose in the western summer time



And if you ever held your woman on a summer's evening



While the prairie moon was blazin in her eyes



Then you'd know why I live beneath these western skies



Bridge:



You ainât lived until you've watched those northern lights



Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night



Makes you feel alright



Verse 3



So guess i'll stay right where i'm at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat



But i'll come and see ya once in a while



I'll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I don't stay too long



I love Tennessee but ya know it's just not my style



I gotta be where I can see those Rocky Mountains



Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly



I gotta live my life and write my songs beneath these western skies



When I die you can bury me beneath these western skies, yippee
