I left Nebraska lookin' at sundown
Needin' a shave and a bath
Wyoming night time could be a comedown
Where do I go for a relapse?
And Cheyenne, Cheyenne

Goofin' with the barfly, pretty little green eyed
Shook and throw a smile
Head's in the right place, baby's got a sweet face
Falls down western style

Cheyenne, Cheyenne, get me high and
Keep me that way
Cheyenne, Cheyenne still try and
Steal my heart away
Cheyenne, Cheyenne

Annie is a cowgirl, a here and now girl
Said she can make me a man
She showed me how, I said, “Oh wow”
I'll come again when I can

And Cheyenne, Cheyenne, get me high and
Steal my heart away
Cheyenne, Cheyenne stop your cryin'
'Cause I'm here to stay

Cheyenne, Cheyenne
Cheyenne, Cheyenne
Cheyenne, Cheyenne
