Fell in love with a rider
Dirt king, black crown
Six months on a knucklehead hog
I like him best when he’s not around
He gets me high, ooh, big sky

Fell in love with a boxer
Stayed awake all year
Heartbreak is a warm sensation
When the only feeling that you know is fear
I don’t know why, oh, big sky

Big sky, big sky
I don’t know why
Oh, big sky

Fell in love with a jailer
Cabin at Fort Quay
Her and me and the baby made three
Visit once in a while when I’m not at sea
She keeps me dry, oh, big sky

Big sky, big sky
I don’t know why
Oh, big sky

Big sky, big sky
Big sky, big sky

Back At Your Door

I’ve been losing sleep I’ve been losing sleep Without you next to me Without you next to me The time moves slowly, lover Now the sky’s gone green Now …

Big Sky

Fell in love with a rider Dirt king, black crown Six months on a knucklehead hog I like him best when he’s not around He gets me high, ooh, big sky Fell in love …
