Left my home, left my friends
I can't go back again
I don't know why
And I don't know why
Baby now here I am
Yeah just another hired hand
Watching the seasons fly by
Watching 'em fly on by
Summer comes around and I miss you
Without you I'm just another guy
Under a big sky
Well come the spring we ride the line
Mend the fence where it's been torn
Spent the day tearing out
That oak that fell in the winter storm
Well work's in and the day's gone down
Hop in a pickup, head into town
Just to end up dead drunk
Thrown back in your bunk
Winter comes around and I wanna kiss you
Kiss you and feel you by my side
Under a big sky
Well that morning I had to go
I packed my bags kind of slow
You said, "John, why must you always leave
The ones who love you so ?"
But I had it set in my head
Believed every word the newspaper said
Now it's plain to see
Yeah the joke's on me
Tonight I'm chasing strays down in the canyon
Shout your name and listen as the echo dies
Under a big sky
I can't go back again
I don't know why
And I don't know why
Baby now here I am
Yeah just another hired hand
Watching the seasons fly by
Watching 'em fly on by
Summer comes around and I miss you
Without you I'm just another guy
Under a big sky
Well come the spring we ride the line
Mend the fence where it's been torn
Spent the day tearing out
That oak that fell in the winter storm
Well work's in and the day's gone down
Hop in a pickup, head into town
Just to end up dead drunk
Thrown back in your bunk
Winter comes around and I wanna kiss you
Kiss you and feel you by my side
Under a big sky
Well that morning I had to go
I packed my bags kind of slow
You said, "John, why must you always leave
The ones who love you so ?"
But I had it set in my head
Believed every word the newspaper said
Now it's plain to see
Yeah the joke's on me
Tonight I'm chasing strays down in the canyon
Shout your name and listen as the echo dies
Under a big sky
