Lyrics:
The nashville friends think i?m strange to make my home out on the rangeThink it?s nothin? but a God forsaken landWhy don?t you bring your guitar and family, move on down to tennesseWell, I just smile because they don?t understandBut if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin? Watched those cotton candy clouds roll byThey?d know why I live beneath these western skiesVerse 2I got peace of mind and elbow room I love the smell of sage in bloomCatch a rainbow on my fishin? lineWe got county fairs and rodeos, ain?t a better place for my kids to growJust turn ?em loose in the western summer timeAnd if you ever held your woman on a summer?s eveningWhile the prairie moon was blazin? in her eyesYou?d know why I live beneath these western skiesBridge:You ain?t lived until you?ve watched those northern lightsSet around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at nightMakes you feel alrightVerse 3So guess i?ll stay right where i?m at, wear my boots and my cowboy hatBut i?ll come and see ya once in a whileI?ll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I don?t stay too longI love tennessee but ya know it?s just not my styleI gotta be where I can see those rocky mountainsRide my horse and watch an eagle flyI gotta live my life and write my songs beneath these western skiesWhen I die you can bury me beneath these western skies, yippee
