Desert Skies

Well I'm ridin' along Singin' the same ol' cowboy song That's been sung a hundred times before Ain't got nothin' but my name And I'm the only man I know to blame But I'm livin' I'm happy and I'm free Just listen to the wind blow Let it blow let it blow Sand over my trail I got my saddle on the ground And that ol' moon he can still be found Hidin' in the desert sky I like simple things in life Like a prairie breeze A good stout horse between my knees Just bein' alone just bein' me And when I die let me die With a dream in my mind A smile on my face and no trouble behind And no cross on my grave To show my restin' place So I can listen to the wind blow Let it blow let it blow Sand over my trail I got my saddle on the ground And that ol' moon he can still be found Hidin' in the desert sky Won't you bury me with my chaps on And my six-gun strapped to my side So I can watch the moon a-hidin' In the desert sky Hidin' in the desert sky Hidin' in the desert sky Hidin' in the desert sky --- Desert Skies - The Marshall Tucker Band
