Desert Skies - The Marshall Tucker Band

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
