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
