Western Skies

The cold and grey 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 'Til 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 There's a girl who's been on my mind A precious jewel so hard to find Said some things that I take back now Maybe I'll get a second chance somehow When 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 I fight my way through another day Rode blocks at every turn Nobody even looks my way Don't know how to make my get away A heavy load weighing on my back As I walk along these rusty tracks I sit alone out on the pier Marking time 'til I get out of here 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
