| 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
|
| 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 |
