Western Skies

The Nashville friends think Ií‹" " strange to make my home out on the range

Think ití‹" â"ž¢ nothin?but a God forsaken land

Why doní‹" í…¡ you bring your guitar and family, move on down to Tennesse

Well, I just smile because they doní‹" í…¡ understand

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

Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by

Theyí‹" í… 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, ainí‹" í…¡ a better place for my kids to grow

Just turn ?'m loose in the western summer time

And if you ever held your woman on a summerí‹" â"ž¢ evening

While the prairie moon was blazin?in her eyes

Youí‹" í… know why I live beneath these Western Skies

Bridge:

You ainí‹" í…¡ lived until youí‹" í…"e watched those Northern Lights

Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night

Makes you feel alright

Verse 3

So guess Ií‹" 'l stay right where Ií‹" " at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat

But Ií‹" 'l come and see ya once in a while

Ií‹" 'l bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I doní‹" í…¡ stay too long

I love Tennessee but ya know ití‹" â"ž¢ 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
