My 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'
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
You'd Know Why I Live Beneath These Western Skies


Bridge:
You Ain't Lived Until You've Watched Those Northern Lights
Sat 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 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-ay!
