Ellen Randall: Music

Great Big African Sky

(Ellen Randall)
Now you’re awake
I say my meeting’s running late
You know damn well that isn’t true
You give me too much latitude
Pictures in a book
All you ever do is look
This time I’m cooking up a plan
Gonna get out while I can

Gonna ride a horse on the savannah
A rifle on my back
No one can hurt me
Under the great big African sky
Under the great big African sky

Been here before
I say it won’t happen anymore
But I can’t keep to what I say
I’m just not built that way
We are who we are
Been working it way too hard
Got to face reality
Set myself free

Gonna ride a horse on the savannah
A rifle on my back
No one can hurt me
Under the great big African sky
Under the great big African sky

Sorry I was wrong
But I think forever is just too long
I can’t do this anymore
I’m walking out the door
Let’s forego a scene
No need for this to get mean
For once in our lives
Let’s do something right

Gonna ride a horse on the savannah
A rifle on my back
No one can hurt me
Under the great big African sky
Under the great big African sky
