The Nashville friends think Ié strange to make my home out on the range
Think ité nothin?but a God forsaken land
Why doné you bring your guitar and family, move on down to Tennesse
Well, I just smile because they doné understand
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin?
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by
Theyé 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, ainé a better place for my kids to grow
Just turn čm loose in the western summer time
And if you ever held your woman on a summeré evening
While the prairie moon was blazin?in her eyes
Youé know why I live beneath these Western Skies
Bridge:
You ainé lived until youée watched those Northern Lights
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night
Makes you feel alright
Verse 3
So guess Iél stay right where Ié at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat
But Iél come and see ya once in a while
Iél bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I doné stay too long
I love Tennessee but ya know ité 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
