about

This Track was written by David C Smith. We had to change some lyrics to fit my personality and my past. After these minor changes, I absolutely love to listen to and to sing this song.

lyrics

Verse:
The last snows have melted
The crops have not yet grown
Standing here in the middle of nowhere
Feeling right at home

This blue canopy above me
If it could have its say
Could bear witness to this
I was born and raised. . .

Chorus:
Under this open Kansas sky
My time and memories go by
Camp fires and fishing with my dad
Baseball and all the fun we had
Staying up late, my friends and I
Under this open Kansas sky

Verse:
Gazing at this open horizon
I dream of possibilities
Where will my life take me?
Where will it lead?

Chorus:
Under this open Kansas sky
My time and memories go by
Left home and launched into the world
Found a job and found my girl
Together we began our lives
Scraped by and grew our family ties
Under this open Kansas sky

Verse:
Like this beautiful sunflower sunset
That fades in front of me
I can't say how many I have left
But I'm sure I'll be. . .

Chorus:
Under this open Kansas sky
My time and memories go by
We're older and the kids are grown
Preparing for our harvest home
Amazed how time has flown by

Under this open Kansas sky
It's fertile fields and countryside
In this wide open space
I find a peace, I find a place
It's where I've lived my whole life
And I'm sure it's where I'll die
Under this open Kansas sky

Tag:
Standing here in the middle of nowhere
Feeling right at home

The songs on this CD all center on themes of faith and family. My goals for this Album are to be obedient to God and to teach my children to pursue their God-given dreams, no matter the costs. ... more
