Sons Of Bill - Western Skies lyrics

My 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 go by They'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies 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 You ain't lived until you've watched those Northern Lights Sat around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night Makes you feel alright 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 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-ay
