There's A Blue Sky Way Out Yonder

There′s a blue sky way out yonder
That's a roof over my head
There′s a blue sky way out yonder
That's a cover for my bed

And wherever I wonder
Or wherever I may roam
There's a blue sky way out yonder

That′s a-callin′ me home

I'm tired of roamin′ around
Mighty tired, mighty blue
Somehow, I never have found
Any place like the home I once knew

There's a blue sky way out yonder
That′s a roof over my head
There's a blue sky way out yonder
That′s a cover for my bed

And wherever I wonder

Or wherever I may roam
There's a blue sky way out yonder
That's a-callin′ me home

Line by Line Meaning

There's a blue sky way out yonder
There is a beautiful and vast sky in the distance

That's a roof over my head
Symbolizing protection and shelter for me

There's a blue sky way out yonder
There is a serene sky far away

That's a cover for my bed
Representing a comforting and peaceful place to rest

And wherever I wonder
No matter where I explore or travel

Or wherever I may roam
Or whichever path I may take

There's a blue sky way out yonder
There will always be a beckoning sky in the distance

That’s a-callin' me home
That calls for me to return to my true home

I'm tired of roamin' around
I am weary of constantly wandering

Mighty tired, mighty blue
Feeling exhausted and filled with sadness
