Think itās nothin?but a god forsaken land Why donāt you bring your guitar and family, move on down to tennesse Well, i just smile because they donāt understand But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin? Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by Theyād 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, aināt a better place for my kids to grow
Just turn īem loose in the western summer time And if you ever held your woman on a summerās evening While the prairie moon was blazin?in her eyes Youād know why i live beneath these western skies
Bridge: You aināt lived until youāve watched those northern lights Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night Makes you feel alright
Verse 3
So guess iāll stay right where iām at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat But iāll come and see ya once in a while Iāll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if i donāt stay too long I love tennessee but ya know itās 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
