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?
Or 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
Then you'd know why I live beneath these western skies
Bridge:
You ain？？짖t 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
