CHEYENNE

Well New Hampshire ain’t Texas but there’s a hole in the wall up in Stratham where it’s almost the same
And a girl at the bar who pours whiskey and beer with tattoos and a faraway name
And on Fridays the bikers come in early to sit out the haze of a hot afternoon
And the distances fade as the radio plays some forgotten and faraway tune

As she turns to the window and silently sways
And you see her eyes soften, lost in the ways of that old guitar’s tune
We’ve all seen better days
And I’d tuck up my losses and toss ’em away
Buckin’ up on a bronco and yodel away through the smoke of the room
While the radio plays

Cheyenne, Cheyenne with the faraway name and the lean, hungry look in your eye
You belong on a pony on some lonesome range where a wish is as wide as the sky
With a bucket of Lone Star and the Cherokee Shuffle and a red Heart of Texas tattoo
Now pour me a drink, gal, and help me to think I’ve got nothing but losing to lose

Now New England is nice in its way but it sure ain’t my home
When the winter wind blows and sends down the long snows it can chill you right deep to the bone
And I’d rather play horseshoes than hockey any old day
Sitting under a live oak in Luckenbach watching the clouds and hearing the pedal steel play

As she turns to the window and silently sways
And you see her eyes soften, lost in the ways of that lonesome old tune
We’ve all seen better days
And I’d tuck up my losses and toss ’em away
Buckin’ up on a bronco and yodel away, heading south out of town
While the radio plays

Cheyenne, Cheyenne with the faraway name and the lean, hungry look in your eye
You belong on a pony on some lonesome range where a wish is as wide as the sky
With a bucket of Lone Star and the Cherokee Shuffle and a red Heart of Texas tattoo
Now pour me a drink, gal, and help me to think I’ve got nothing but losing to lose

Cheyenne, Cheyenne with the faraway name and the lean, hungry look in your eye
You belong on a pony on some lonesome range where a wish is as wide as the sky
With a bucket of Lone Star and the Cherokee Shuffle and a red Heart of Texas tattoo
Now pour me a drink, gal, and help me to think I’ve got nothing but losing to lose
Oh pour me a drink, now, and help me to think I’ve got nothing but nothing but losing to lose
