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

Think it鈙 nothin?but a God forsaken land
Why don鈚 you bring your guitar and family, move on down to Tennesse
Well, I just smile because they don鈚 understand
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin?
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by
They鈊 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鈚 a better place for my kids to grow

Just turn 蝒m loose in the western summer time
And if you ever held your woman on a summer鈙 evening
While the prairie moon was blazin?in her eyes
You鈊 know why I live beneath these Western Skies


Bridge:
You ain鈚 lived until you鈜e watched those Northern Lights
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night
Makes you feel alright


Verse 3

So guess I鈒l stay right where I鈓 at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat
But I鈒l come and see ya once in a while
I鈒l bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I don鈚 stay too long
I love Tennessee but ya know it鈙 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
