Well I sure take it with me wherever I go
And you might like to see it but it never
does show
Like a wind in the valley that never does
blow
Like the grass in the back you never did mow
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
It's a woman waitin', standin' on the bridge
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on
the ledge
It's everything you do and nothin' that you
did
Well you might see me drivin' in the wrong
side of town
And you might see me shinin' when the rain's
comin' down
Like a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and
found
Like a coon that's runnin' from a red bone
hound
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
It's a woman waitin', standin' on the bridge
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on
the ledge
It's everything you do and nothin' that you
did
Wo-o-o talking bout Black Sky
Talkin’ bout a Black Sky
Well the wood keeps burnin' in the old wood
stove
And the cows keep goin' where they done been
drove
And a light keeps glowin' in a dead man's
cove
And a loom keeps spinnin' where the weave
gets wove
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
It's a woman waitin', standin' on the bridge
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on
the ledge
It's everything you do and nothin' that you
did
Wo-o-o talking bout Black Sky
Talkin’ bout Black Sky
I’m talking bout Black Sky
I’m talking bout Black Sky
I’m talking bout Black Sky
