"Sweet Wyoming Home"

"Sweet Wyoming Home"


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 didn't make a dime.
The entry fees they took my dough; the travlin' took my time;
And I'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 you're in a jam
But your money's ridin' on the bull; And he don't give a damn
Well there'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 I'm used to hearin'; Ain't the kind the jukebox play
And I'm headed home; To my Sweet Wyoming Home

Well I've always loved the ridin'; There ain' t nothing quite the same
Another year might bring me luck; Win in another game
There's a magpie on a fencerail; That's callin' 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
It's a song of Home, Sweet Wyoming Home

"Homecoming"

"Homecoming"


While driving down the last four miles of gravel road to home
All the old familiar landmarks seem like long lost friends
As he pulls in to the ranch he see's his mom hangin' out the wash
And dad is ridin' down the old yellow with old smokie
He never realized what a good cook his mom was
I guess he took a lot of things for granite
But for the past year he has been living on blogne burgers and beans
And he thinks he just might stay home for awhile
Well there's a dance in town tonight
And he figures he'll just go in and see some of his old friends
Well he runs into Bill and John and they ask
Where all he's been and about the bulls
Well then from behind him he hears someone call his name
He turns around to see a beautiful young lady
He doesn't recognise him at first but then it dawns on him
This is the same skinny little girl who use to tag along with him back in high school
My how the flowers grow well they danced and talked about things
And somewhere around midnight for the first time in his life
The cowboy realizes he is fallin' in love
And you know what I guess it was bound to happen

"Look At You Girl"

"Look At You Girl"


Just look at you, girl
Standin' here beside me
Starlight on your hair
Lookin' like a dream I dreamed somewhere
And look at me, girl
You got me actin' just like a lover
In an old time picture show
And how I got the part - I just don't know
But it's written all across your face
Plain as it can be
You're the one that I was lookin' for
Now you're all that I can see

You mean everything to me
And I'd do anything to have you stay forever
I'm an ordinary man
But I feel like I could do anything in the world
When I look at you, girl

Just look at you, girl
Walkin' here beside me
Misty morning light
I see my own reflection in your eyes
And just smile at me, girl
With eyes that tell a story
That words can never say tellin' me your love is gonna stay
And we're standin' right together now
In everything we do
And if my world should come apart
I'll still be lovin' you

You mean everything to me
And I'd do anything to have you stay forever
I'm an ordinary man
But I feel like I could do anything in the world
When I look at you, girl

"Searching For A Rainbow"

"Searching For A Rainbow"


(Put your hands together and start making some noise
And let's do the same when we get them on stage
Ladies and gentleman let's give it up for the wild and wooly saddle boogie band)

I rode in to town today in my mind I said Lord I'd love to stay
Somethin' in me said boy move on
Don't know what it is Lord blessed it in my bones
And I'm searchin' for a rainbow and if the wind ever shows me where to go
You'll be waitin' at the end and I know
And I'll say to hell with that pot of gold
I'll say to hell with that pot of gold

This old mount I'm ridin' is gettin' kinda tired
But in my heart he knows there's just one desire
He's gonna take me to the end of the road
And he'll lay down and die and I'll say God rest his soul
And I'm searchin' for a rainbow...
And I'm searchin' for a rainbow...
And I'm searchin' for a rainbow...
I'll say to hell with that pot of gold

"Call Of The Wild"

"Call Of The Wild"


Storm clouds are building above the timber line
The lightning's flashing across the mountain side
The thunder's rollin' down the canyons of his mind
Somewhere beyond the great divide
The bugle of the bull elk echos through pines
The north wind moans her lonesome lullaby
He hungers for the freedom of an eagle as she flies
Somewhere beyond the great divide

He's heard the call of the wild
He's heard the call of the wild
The mountains callin' to him like a mother calls her child
He's heard the call of the wild
Livin' in the city oh it gets to be a grind
Puttin' in his hours workin' overtime
Waitin' for the day he can leave it all behind
To go somewhere beyond the great divide

He's got to get away from the city for a while
He's gotta answer the call of the wild

He's heard the call of the wild
He's heard the call of the wild
The mountains callin' to him like a mother calls her child
He's heard the call of the wild
Livin' in the city oh it gets to be a grind
Puttin' in his hours workin' overtime
Waitin' for the day he can leave it all behind
To go somewhere beyond the great divide

"Utah Tribute"

"Utah Tribute"


Stared out just a young cowboy writin' songs on a cheap guitar
Melodies were kind of rough but you knew they came from the heart
But if not for you I'd never could have ever got this far
Yeah you helped me grow and I owe you more than you'll ever know

From the days at the Terrace Ballroom well me made it up to Symphony Hall
I played my songs and you sang along and man we really had a ball
And you brought your little children and I've seen 'em all grow tall
Yeah I watched you grow and I owe you more than you'll ever know

And all the wild and wooly cowboys dancin' and yellin' for more
Your hats and suites an cowboy boots stompin' on a hardwood floor
And you qaltzed those Utah ladies beneath the spotlight glow
Yeah you helped me grow and I owe you more than you'll ever know
I owe you more than you'll ever know

"Night Rider's Lament"

"Night Rider's Lament"



While I was out a ridin' the grave yard shift midnight till dawn
The moon was bright as a readin' light for a letter from an old friend back home
And he asked me why do you ride for your money and why do you rope for short pay
You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share
Boy you must have gone crazy out there

He said last night he runnin' to Jenny she's married and has a good life
And boy you sure missed the track when you never come back
She's the perfect professional's wife
And she asked him why does he ride for his money
And tell me why does he rope for short pay
He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share
Well he must've gone crazy out there

Ah but they've never seen the Northern Lights
They ain't never seen a hawk on the wing
They've never spent spring on the Great Divide
And they've never heard ole camp cookie sing
Well I read up the last of my letter and tore off the stamp for black Jim
And when Billy rode up to relieve me he just looked at my letter and grinned
He said you know I wonder why do they ride for their money
Tell me why do they ride for short pay
They ain't a gettin' nowhere and they're loosin' their share
Son, they all must be crazy out there
They ain't never seen the Northern Lights
They ain't never seen a hawk on the wing
They've never spent spring on the Great Divide
And they've never heard ole camp cookie sing

"Cowboys Like A Little Rock And Roll"

"Cowboys Like A Little Rock And Roll"

Well now cowboys love the ladies
They like beans and sourdough
Good horses and hot black coffee
And campfires burnin' low
You know we love that cowboy music
But I'll bet you didn't know
That even cowboys like just a little
Rock and roll

[CHORUS:]
Even cowboys like a little bit of rock n roll
Yeah we all got some boogie woogie in our soul
There's a little bit of Buddy Holly
(ChuckBerry)(Charlie Daniels)
In every cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock ann roll

Now when your camped out on the prairie
And that ole moon is shinin' bright
You can hear those cattle bawlin' soft n low
There's nothin' like a cowboys song to make it all feel just right
But even cowboys like a little bit rock and roll

[CHORUS]

Now those old buckaroos are set in their ways
And they'll even tell you so
Say they don't like nothin' but them old time cowboy songs
Yeah but I've seen the green grass growin'
Underneath that winter snow
I'll bet them old cowboys even like a little rock and roll

[CHORUS]

Yeah there's a little long hair
In every single cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock n roll

"County Fair"

"County Fair"



Been workin' like a dog, slavin' on the fence line,
Stretchin' those wires tight.
Diggin' and tappin' and sweatin' in the sunshine,
But I get off t'night.

I got a date with a girl, a perdy ranchers daughter,
Green eyes and golden hair.
Gonna pick her up at 8 after some soap and water.
And we're headin' to the county fair.

Well there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothin' I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.

Well, we walked through the midway, the lights and the laughter,
She puts her little hand in mine.
Well, she don't act like she knows what I'm after,
But t'night I'm gonna make her mine.

You know the tunnel of love, well it ain't my style.
So I take her on the ferris wheel.
Way up in the sky, with the stars in her eyes,
I'm gonna tell her just how I feel.

Well, there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothin' I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.

Well I know Monday mornin', I'll be back on the fence-line,
But it'll be alright.
'Cause that perdy little girl says she's gonna be all mine.
I'll see her next Friday night.

Well there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothin' I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.
Ain't nothin' I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.
