from the songs album unknown
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?
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
You?d know why i live beneath these western skies
Bridge:
You ain?t 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
