Joe Nichols - Old Cheyenne lyrics

I pulled out in dusty cloud on a hot night in July

With big tears rolling down she waved goodbye

Just out of my teens with foolish dreams and big stars in my eyes

And now I've had a million second thoughts of what I left behind

I wonder what she's doing back in old Cheyenne

Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been

Looking back I was such a fool I held her love in the palm of my hand

I had it all back in old Cheyenne

That final show, that buckle of gold, it never came to me

I'm far from the hero I thought I'd be

A rolling stone in the rodeo that's not what I had in mind

And now there's more than these old broken bones breaking here tonight

I wonder what she's doing back in old Cheyenne

Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been

Looking back I was such a fool I held her love in the palm of my hand

I had it all back in old Cheyenne

I'm bluer than the Rocky Mountains

Lonesome as a northern wind

And what I'd give to hold her once again

I wonder what she's doing back in old Cheyenne

Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been

Looking back I was such a fool I held her love in the palm of my hand

I had it all back in old Cheyenne
