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 didnâ"š¬â"ž¢t make a dime.
The entry fees they took my dough; the travlinâ"š¬â"ž¢ took my time;
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢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 youâ"š¬â"ž¢re in a jam
But your moneyâ"š¬â"ž¢s ridinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on the bull; And he donâ"š¬â"ž¢t give a damn
Well thereâ"š¬â"ž¢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 Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m used to hearinâ"š¬â"ž¢; Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t the kind the jukebox play
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m headed home; To my Sweet Wyoming Home
Interlude
Well Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve always loved the ridinâ"š¬â"ž¢; There ainâ"š¬â"ž¢ t nothing quite the same
Another year might bring me luck; Win in another game
Thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s a magpie on a fencerail; Thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s callinâ"š¬â"ž¢ 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
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s a song of Home, Sweet Wyoming Home
