Big Sky

The streets are jammed with traffic going nowhere
There's rows of parking meters instead of trees
A highrise on either side
Makes a sliver of the sky

And it looks like they're closing in on me
I know the stars are up there
But I never get to see them
Ain't nothing growing here but a lonely feeling

All I need is room to run
Where the horizon's endless
And Heaven shines on me at night
I wanna race the rising sun
Somewhere where there are no fences
And find a place that's mine
Under a big sky
Under a big sky

I've tried so hard to make myself a home here
But you can't put down roots in concrete
I feel like a stranger
Like I'm living in a cage here

And it's been so long since i've felt like me
There's horses pulling tourist
Down on Second Avenue
I look at them and wonder
If they feel the way I do

All i need is room to run
Where the horizon's endless
And heaven shines on me at night
I wanna race the rising sun
Somewhere where there are no fences
And find a place that's mine
Under a big sky
Under a big sky

No, I don't wanna wait
Til it's too late
To find a place I belong

All I need is room to run
Where the horizon's endless
And heaven shines on me at night
I wanna race the horizon sun
Somewhere where there are no fences
And find a place that's mine
Under a big sky
Under a big sky
