Western Skies

[Verse 1]
The cold and gray just wears me down
Day after day in this hard luck town
Can't keep a dollar, can't make a frown
Don't believe I'll be content again

[Chorus]
'Till I see those western skies
Sunshine on the open plain
Blue sky across the mountain range
When I'm free that's where I'll be

[Verse 2]
There's a girl who's been on my mind
A precious jewel, so hard to find
Said some things that I'd take back now
Maybe I'll get a second chance somehow

[Chorus]
And I'll see those western skies
Sunshine on the open plain
Blue sky across the mountain range
When I'm free that's where I'll be

[Verse 3]
I'll find my way through another day
Roadblocks at every turn
Nobody even looks my way
Don't know how to make my getaway

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
A heavy load weighin' on my back
As I walk along these rusty tracks
I sit alone out on the pier
Markin' time 'till I get outta here

[Chorus]
So I can see those western skies
Sunshine on the open plain
Blue sky across the mountain range
When I'm free that's where I'll be
When I'm free that's where I'll be
