A Daughter In Denver

(album: Boat In The Water - 2017)

A daughter in Denver, a son in Cheyenne
An ex-wife in Dallas with a suitable man
I'm out on this prairie where the winter winds blow
I'm thinking about them and missing them so

My old man kept his feelin's hidden inside
And I turned out the same no matter how hard I tried
And this is something my family came to know well
I knew I loved them but there was no way they could tell

A daughter in Denver, a son in Cheyenne
An ex-wife in Dallas with a suitable man
I'm out on this prairie where the winter wind blow
Thinking about them and missing them so

Now it's half-an-hour by truck just to look at a tree
Its eighteen hundred acres of nothing but me
Just me and some prairie dogs living what passes for life
All that I know is I'm missing my kids and my wife

A daughter in Denver, a son in Cheyenne
An ex-wife in Dallas with a suitable man
I'm out on this prairie where the winter wind blow
I'm thinking about them and missing them so
I'm thinking about them and missing them so
A daughter in Denver, a son in Cheyenne
