|
There's a silence on the prairie; That a man can't help but feel
|
Shadows growing longer now; Nipping at my heels
|
I know that soon that old four-lane; That runs beneath my wheels
|
Will take me home; to my Sweet Wyoming Home.
|
|
I headed down the road last summer; With a few good friends of mine
|
They all hit the money, Lord; I didn¡¯t make a dime.
|
The entry fees they took my dough; the travlin¡¯ took my time;
|
And I¡¯m headed home; to my Sweet Wyoming Home
|
|
Watch the moon; smiling in the sky
|
Hum a tune; Prairie lullaby;
|
Hear the wind; And old coyoties cry
|
A song of home; Sweet Wyoming Home
|
|
Now the rounders they all wish you luck; When they know you¡¯re in a jam
|
But your money¡¯s ridin¡¯ on the bull; And he don¡¯t give a damn
|
Well there¡¯s shows in all the cities; Cities turn your heart to clay
|
Takes all a man can muster; Just to try and get away
|
The songs I¡¯m used to hearin¡¯; Ain¡¯t the kind the jukebox play
|
And I¡¯m headed home; To my Sweet Wyoming Home
|
|
Interlude
|
|
Well I¡¯ve always loved the ridin¡¯; There ain¡¯ t nothing quite the same
|
Another year might bring me luck; Win in another game
|
There¡¯s a magpie on a fencerail; That¡¯s callin¡¯ out my name
|
And he calls me home, To my Sweet Wyoming Home
|
|
Watch the moon; smiling in the sky
|
Hum a tune; Prairie lullaby;
|
Hear the wind; And old coyoties cry
|
A song of home; Sweet Wyoming Home
|
It¡¯s a song of Home, Sweet Wyoming Home
|
