Western Skies lyrics
Song information
Artist: Chris Ledoux Album: Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy
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 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 Sat 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 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!
