Chris Ledoux - Western Skies Lyrics
The nashville friends think im strange to make my home out on the rangeThink its nothin? but a God forsaken landWhy dont you bring your guitar and family, move on down to tennesseWell, I just smile because they dont understandBut if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin?Watched those cotton candy clouds roll byTheyd know why I live beneath these western skiesVerse 2I got peace of mind and elbow room I love the smell of sage in bloomCatch a rainbow on my fishin? lineWe got county fairs and rodeos, aint a better place for my kids to growJust turn em loose in the western summer timeAnd if you ever held your woman on a summers eveningWhile the prairie moon was blazin? in her eyesYoud know why I live beneath these western skiesBridge:You aint lived until youve watched those northern lightsSet around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at nightMakes you feel alrightVerse 3So guess ill stay right where im at, wear my boots and my cowboy hatBut ill come and see ya once in a whileIll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I dont stay too longI love tennessee but ya know its just not my styleI gotta be where I can see those rocky mountainsRide my horse and watch an eagle flyI gotta live my life and write my songs beneath these western skiesWhen I die you can bury me beneath these western skies, yippee
