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
