Lyrics
Cheyenne by Brad Nye I don't miss her 'cept every day Now me and the boys we ride all night and play I'm glad I left there even though its home I make own mind up and where I will roam On the prairie I'm wild eyed and free A dusty trail is where I will be Do we have to go through Cheyenne Can't we take the long way around She'll probably find out where I am Do we have to go through Cheyenne Can't we run and hide Ridin' faster than the wind Can't we stay inside And plan a break for Texas Drinkin' beers and whiskey Cheyenne I don't miss her people hear me say Now me and the boys we don't talk much these days Mostly lonely cept once a year I made my own bed now its God that I fear On my pillow I'm cryin to sleep I asked the Lord just where I should be Do we have to go through Cheyenne Can't we take the long way around Yeah she found out who I am I guess I have to go through Cheyenne Do we have to go through Cheyenne Do we have to go through Cheyenne I guess I have to go through Cheyenne La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la
