Nashville Friends
But if they ever saw sunrise on a mountain morning
And watched those cotton candy clouds go by
Then they'd know why I live beneath these western skies
I got peace of mind, an elbow room
I love to smell the sage and bloom
I'll catch a rainbow on my fishing line
We got county fairs and rodeos
Ain't a better place for my kids to grow
Just turn them loose in the western summertime
And if you ever held your woman on summer's evening
While the prairie moon was blazing in her eyes
Then you'd know why
I live beneath these cotton candy clouds
I live beneath these western skies
You ain't lived until you've watched those northern lights
Sit around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night
Makes you feel all right
So guess I'll stay right where I'm at
Wear my boots and my cowboy hat
But I'll come and see you once in a while
I'll bring you back home to town

Sing my guitar and sing my songs
Sorry if I don't stay too long
I love Tennessee, but you know it just ain't 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
And when I'm home, I'm home again
If I die, you can bury me
Beneath these western skies
Yippee-yay
Yippee.
