A very smooth country song.

Saw a sign on the highway I was driving along, way home On a hilltop is where I belong I took a look at the hole Where my head used to be And I'll sing you a song That descended on me The way I live Determines the way My people survive Yes the way I live Determines the way My people survive So I went to the country To look up a friend Cause I heard that the house And the barn had a blend I took a look at the hole Where the bird used to be And I'll sing him a song Because he sang one for me The way I live Determines the way My people survive Yes the way I live Determines the way My people survive And the names of the cowboys Will all blow away Like the dust off the desert On a hot windy day I've tried so hard to tell you In so many ways That I'm scared of the heartache and scenes With the cowboy of dreams

This is my favourite song. I have been searching for a decade for this tune. Thanks very much for posting.

This is a fantastic song from the album Wind on the Water.... Carry me surpasses this but its not far behind. Great stuff.

Wondering if there's an album where Nash has a stronger set of songs than this.... really great. The 2004 album had a few great ones too. Songs for Beginners
