Familiar Skies

(Verse 1) Well, I rolled outta town on a dusty old truck, With a prayer in my heart and a lie about luck. The smell of the sagebrush, it clung to my clothes, The sun setting low, where the wild wind blows. (Verse 2) I remember the nights under stars so bright, Grandpa's old stories ‘bout the cowboy life. He’d laugh as he told me ‘bout the trails he’d roam, With a smile on his face, he'd always feel like home. (Chorus) So I'm coming back, to the life I know, To the fields and the dreams that were planted long ago. With the taste of the whiskey and the warmth of the fire, In the arms of my memories, I find my desire. Oh, dust rises up as I drive through the pines, I’m coming home, where the heart aligns. (Verse 3) The old porch swing creaks, it calls out my name, Where the echoes of laughter still whisper the same. Momma’s sweet tea on a hot summer’s day, And the sound of her voice, it just won't fade away. (Verse 4) I’d saddle up old Duke, head out at sunrise, With the world at my feet and the freedom in my eyes. But the road it grew long, I lost track of time, Now I’m chasing the sunset, and it’s finally mine. (Chorus) So I'm coming back, to the life I know, To the fields and the dreams that were planted long ago. With the taste of the whiskey and the warmth of the fire, In the arms of my memories, I find my desire. Oh, dust rises up as I drive through the pines, I’m coming home, where the heart aligns. (Bridge) Now the stars are a guide, like they once were before, As I find my place on that familiar shore. With the rhythm of crickets and the owl's soft call, I’m home in the twilight, I’ve answered the call. (Chorus) So I'm coming back, to the life I know, To the fields and the dreams that were planted long ago. With the taste of the whiskey and the warmth of the fire, In the arms of my memories, I find my desire. Oh, dust rises up as I drive through the pines, I’m coming home, where the heart aligns. (Outro) So here’s to the moments, the laughter, the tears, To the cowboy in me, I’m shedding my fears. With the open road behind and the stars up above, I’m finally home, and I’m wrapped in your love.
