Western Skies Lyrics

The nashville friends think im strange to make my home out on the range

Think its nothin? but a god forsaken land
Why dont you bring your guitar and family, move on down to tennesse
Well, i just smile because they dont understand
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin?
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by
Theyd 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, aint 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 summers evening
While the prairie moon was blazin? in her eyes Youd know why i live beneath these western skies

Bridge:
You aint lived until youve watched those northern lights
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night
Makes you feel alright

Verse 3

So guess ill stay right where im at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat
But ill come and see ya once in a while
Ill bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if i dont stay too long
I love tennessee but ya know its 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
