Song Of Wyoming

(album: Old Cowboy Heroes - 1980)

I'm weary and tired I've done my day's riding nighttime is rolling my way
The sky's all on fire and the light's slowly fading peaceful and still ends the day
Out on the trail night birds are calling singing their wild melody
Down in the canyon cottonwood whispers a Song of Wyoming for me

I've wandered around the town and the city tried to figure the how and the why
I've stopped all my scheming I'm just drifting and dreaming
Watching the river roll by
And here comes that big ole prairie moon rising shining down bright as can be
And up on the hill there's a coyote singing a Song of Wyoming for me

Well now it's whiskey and tobacco and bitter black coffee a lonesome old doggie am I
Waking up on the range Lord I feel like an angel free like I almost could fly
Drift like a cloud out over the badlands sing like a bird in the tree
The wind through the sage sounds like heaven singing a Song of Wyoming for me
A Song of Wyoming for me
