作词 : LeDoux 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 go 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!
