Western Skies
Chris LeDoux

The Nashville friends think Iˆ strange to make my home out on the range

Think itˆ™ nothin?but a God forsaken land
Why donˆš you bring your guitar and family, move on down to Tennesse
Well, I just smile because they donˆš understand
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin?
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by
TheyˆŠ 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, ainˆš 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 summerˆ™ evening
While the prairie moon was blazin?in her eyes
YouˆŠ know why I live beneath these Western Skies

Bridge:
You ainˆš lived until youˆœe watched those Northern Lights
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night
Makes you feel alright

Verse 3

So guess Iˆ'l stay right where Iˆ at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat
But Iˆ'l come and see ya once in a while
Iˆ'l bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I donˆš stay too long
I love Tennessee but ya know itˆ™ 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
