Big Blue Sky
Reba McEntire · Other Songs - Reba McEntire
We didn't listen when they tried to tell us we were to young to know
They tried to slow us down but, we always found another way to go.
Before you know it we were waving goodbye, driving away
off into the big blue sky
We went out lookin for the best jobs kids like us could get
We got hired and fired, and worn out tired but we never quit.
To dumb to worry or wonder why
we were chasing our lives off into the big blue sky.
Chorus
I guess we were just
nothin but a big blue sky
We've had earthquakes, twisters,
hurricanes, tidlewaves and hail down n our heads
We've been knocke down, sucked in
spun round, shaken up, thrown away
and left for dead
but somehow we always made it out alive
on the other side of the Big Blue Sky
Chorus
Maybe we were just crazy enough
to try and out run the rain
The storms we've been through just proved that we can
make it through anything.
you'll never see how good it can be
until you spread your wings and fly
baby take look at our lives it's nothing but a
Big Blue Sky
It's nothin but a big blue sky
Baby lookin back
everthing they said
Like how we wouldn't last how far we'd never get,
It's a great big lie
ain't nothin over head
nothin but a big blue sky
Chorus
Maybe we were just crazy enough
to try and out run the rain
The storms we've been through just proved that we can
make it through anything.
you'll never see how good it can be
until you spread your wings and fly
baby look at our lives
Take a look at our lives
Yeah look at our lives
It's nothin but a Big blue Sky
Nothin but a big blue sky
it's a big blue sky
