Blue Rodeo Western Skies Lyrics

Western Skies Lyrics

Well I'd rather be



walking through the tall pine trees



high



up above Lake Louise



And I'd rather be



chasing after shooting stars



than waiting for this dumb 503 TTC



I'd like to see



the sun set behind Saddle Mountain



and listen to the wind whisper my name



yea this world and me don't fit



one of us is going to have to quit



oh how I miss those western skies



And I'd rather be



back in the Rocky Mountains



than sitting in some bar on Queen Street



And I'd rather be



walking through the high meadow



than watching the latest war on my TV



So please don't you stand in my way



I just got to get out of this place



if I waste another day



I'm sure the sun will forget my name



Oh how I miss those western skies



oh to see the sunset in her eyes



oh to see the sunshine in her eyes



And I'd rather be



lying by the Bow River



just watching the clouds go by



Yea I'd rather be



anywhere else than here tonight



than stuck in the city



but through the pain



good things will come



after the rain the sun



but that don't mean much to me



stuck in the city



oh how I miss those western skies
