Old Cheyenne

I pulled out

In a dusty cloud

On a hot night in July

With big tears rollin down

She waved goodbye

Just out of my teens

With foolish dreams

And big stars in my eyes

And now i've had a million second thoughts

On what i left behind

I wonder what she's doing

Back in Old Cheyenne

Does she ever dream of me

And how we might of been

Looking back love in the palm of my hand

I had it all back in Old Cheyenne

I know for sure that buckle of gold

It never came to me

I'm far from the hero I thought i'd be

A rolling stone in the rodeo

It's not what i had in mind

And now there's more than these old broken bones

Breaking here tonight

I wonder what she's doing

Back in Old Cheyenne

Does she ever dream of me

And how we might of been

Looking back i was such a fool

I held her love in the palm of my hand

I had it all back in Old Cheyenne

I'm bluer than the Rocky Mountains

Lonesome as a northern wind

And what i'd give to hold her once again

I wonder what she's doing

Back in Old Cheyenne

Does she ever dream of me

And how we might of been

Looking back i was such a fool

I held her love in the palm of my hand

I had it all back in Old Cheyenne
