Song Of Wyoming

I'm weary and tired I've done my day's ridin'

Nighttime is rolling my way

The sky's all on fire and the light's slowly fadin'

Peaceful and still ends the day

And out on the trail, the night birds are callin'

Singin' their wild melody

Down in the canyon, the 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 schemin'

I'm just driftin' and dreamin' and watching the river roll by

And here comes that big ole prairie moon risin'

Shinin' down bright as can be

And up on the hill there's a coyote singin'

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 singin'

A song of Wyoming for me

A song of Wyoming for me
