Cheyenne Lyrics

Cheyenne (S. Kempner) I was just a boy The first time I heard of Cheyenne I fell in love with the word What to me seems such a strange exotic land Where cowboys still ride the high plains Where heaven kisses the earth And a person could be free enough To find out what he was worth Chorus: Cheyenne Someday Cheyenne I'm gonna ride the high plains Cheyenne Can't you just picture me A city boy in God's country I'd never known anywhere other Than the streets of my town Too much of anything even the best things Will finally get you down I'd never been any farther west Than the shores of Jersey But I guess dreams were created By a God in his infinite mercy Chorus Well I've seen a little bit of the world These past few years And while I'm still a young man I've had my share of laughs I've shed my share of tears Tonight when I get home I'll settle back and turn on the TV Or I could just close my eyes And Cheyenne is where I will be Chorus
