Lyrics
Sky Blue
Words and music by Michael Lewis
I stepped out of my four by four Reached back and closed the door Another 90 miles and I won't need this briefcase anymore Invested fifteen years of my short life Tryin' to build my dreams in vain
I had all the tools, knew all the rules Watched it all go down the drain
Wyoming winds (on) The highway home Far away from city streets Where the concrete meets the chrome
A long dirt road To a dream come true My new office is a field of gold with a view of sky blue.
I had a cubicle with notes and jokes Tacked all over the place I typed 62 words a minute with a Flat screen in my face.
One cappuccino morning A bitter sweet taste that left me cold Woke me up to finally realize this routine was getting old. (Chorus)
The fast lane and the high rise never wore too well on me
I'd just stare out of the windows always longing to be free
I could see myself, kicking back, just taking in the view
Under shady trees on a Tuesday afternoon
Wyoming winds
(On) The Highway home
Far away from city streets
Where the concrete meets the chrome
A long dirt road
To a dream come true
My new office is a field of gold with a view of sky blue.
