Big Country Sky
Ryan Bingham Lyrics

Tell me 'bout a big country sky
Ryan Bingham is seeking a description of the vast sky that covers the countryside

Makes you want to saddle up and ride
The sight of the expansive sky gives him the urge to hop on a horse and explore the country

Friend or foe you never really know
The nature of the sky, whether it is serene or violent, is uncertain and unpredictable

Doesn't really matter cause you're still gonna go
The possibility of danger or uncertainty wouldn't prevent him from exploring the countryside

It's just another sacred sky
The sky carries a special significance beyond its aesthetic appeal

Makes you want to grow wings and fly
The grandeur of the sky inspires a desire to defy gravity and soar through the air

Well and never touch down
He would love to remain in the sky forever, never having to set foot on the ground again

Be the certified member of the lost and never found
Being among the clouds would give him a sense of belonging to a realm unreachable to most

Well they say all the cowboys are gone
There is a common belief that the profession of cowboys has disappeared

Never gonna see another buffalo roam
It is assumed that the vast herds of buffalo no longer exist in the countryside

Well I have to disagree
Ryan Bingham believes that there are still some cowboys and buffalos in existence in the countryside

I still know a few livin down in langtree
He knows a few cowboys still practicing their profession in a place called Langtree

And you call Montana the land of big sky
The state of Montana is commonly referred to as having a vast and expansive sky

Never seen further than a Texas mile
However, Ryan Bingham has never actually seen a sky as far-reaching as the one in Texas

Low dust devils or stars on the ground
There are unique and breathtaking natural occurrences that can be seen on the land itself, such as dust devils or stars on the ground

The windmill changed how the world went round
Windmills revolutionized the way cattle were tended to and played a major role in the history of the countryside

Pushed our cattle on out from town
Windmills allowed cowboys to move their cattle further away from civilization and into the vast countryside

Let the cowboys be cowboy bound
Ryan Bingham believes that cowboys should be free to pursue their profession and way of life in the expansive countryside
