The Nashville friends think Iâm strange to make my home out on the range
Think itâs nothinâ but a God forsaken land
Why donât you bring your guitar and family, move on down to Tennesse
Well, I just smile because they donât understand
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain morninâ
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by
Theyâd 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 fishinâ line
We got county fairs and rodeos, ainât a better place for my kids to grow
Just turn Îem loose in the western summer time
And if you ever held your woman on a summerâs evening
While the prairie moon was blazinâ in her eyes
Youâd know why I live beneath these Western Skies
Bridge:
You ainât lived until youâve watched those Northern Lights
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night
Makes you feel alright
Verse 3
So guess Iâll stay right where Iâm at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat
But Iâll come and see ya once in a while
Iâll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I donât stay too long
I love Tennessee but ya know itâs 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 Yi
