Mockingbird way out in the wide sky man it's been a long drive Rodeo clown sat me down and looked me in the eye I poured my heart out on the rocks, he said babe it comes at a cost You been riding in the wind too long and you got to get off I'm living in the wide sky I was blinded by the bright lights oh boy it's been wild ride Romeos in town but I'm bound to leave him behind He called my name across the street - Juliet I'd like to meet But his voice blew away in the wind and the summer heat I'm living in the wide sky Oh man it's been a long drive Yeh it's been a wild ride Doing time, I'm out of my mind Living in the wide sky You been living the high life can't get enough You been swimming in the high tide can't keep it up You got to know this one-way road is gonna get rough I've living in the wide sky Oh man it's been a long drive Yeh it's been a wild ride Doing time, I'm out of my mind Living in the wide sky I'm doing time, I'm gonna die Living in the wide sky
