Cheyenne

She likes the lights in the arena
She's a queen when they turn 'em on
She'll smile and say, "It's good to see you"
Like I ain't missed her everyday since she's been gone

She'll park her trailer in my driveway
She'll lay beside me in my bed
But she don't talk about the highway
And I don't ask, no I don't ask

Out here in Cheyenne
Tumbleweeds roll through town
In July I am her man
But August is something we dance around

She'll ride in Cheyenne
And then she'll ride on out
'Cause nobody stays in Cheyenne
Except a few broke downs and her damned old rodeo clown

She never asks me to go with her
So I never ask her if she'll stay
She'll be in Wickenburg by winter
And I'll be whiskey wishin' for them summer days

Cowgirls they can't ride forever
Eventually she'll have to plant her roots
But nothin' ever grows here
Except cracks on the roads here
And a girl that pretty don't need no city
Where nothing never happens like

Out here in Cheyenne
Tumbleweeds roll through town
In July I am her man
But August is something we dance around

She'll ride in Cheyenne
And then she'll ride on out
'Cause nobody stays in Cheyenne
Except a few broke downs and her damned old rodeo clown

She'll ride in Cheyenne
And then she'll ride on out
'Cause nobody stays in Cheyenne
Except a few broke downs and her damned old rodeo clown

I'm her damned old rodeo clown
