Under a Big Sky

[Verse 1] Left my home, left my friends I can't go back again I don't know why And I don't know why [Verse 2] Baby, now here I am Yeah, just another hired hand Watchin' the seasons fly by Watchin' 'em fly on by [Chorus] Summer comes around and I miss you Without you I'm just another guy Under a big sky [Verse 3] Well, come the spring we ride the line Mend the fence where it's been torn Spent the day tearin' out that oak That fell in the winter storm [Verse 4] Well, work's in and the day's gone down Hop in a pickup, head into town Just to end up dead drunk Thrown back in your bunk [Chorus] Winter comes around and I wanna kiss you Kiss you and feel you by my side Under a big sky [Bridge] Well, the morning I had to go I packed my bags kind of slow You said, "John, why must you always leave The ones who love you so?" [Verse 5] But I had it set in my head Believed every word the newspaper said Now it's plain to see Yeah, the joke's on me [Chorus] Tonight I'm chasin' strays down in the canyon Shout your name and listen as the echo dies Under a big sky
