July In Cheyenne (Song For Lane's Momma)

In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

They had to carry away that brave young man

A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan

Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

Lookin' back it doesn't seem so long ago

He was bigger than life, God rest his soul

Why he died that day is hard to understand

Right there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while

And take time to remember that cowboy's smile

A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan

Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

No buckles on a shelf collecting dust

Still his memory shines inside of all of us

Some miss their hero, some miss their friend

His mom and daddy long to see their little boy again

So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while

And take time to remember that cowboy's smile

A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan

Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

They had to carry away that brave young man

If your washed in the blood someday you'll see him again

And it won't be in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
