I said goodbye to the state line of Wyoming And four hundred miles of friends along the way I know tomorrow I'll wake up feelin' lonesome 'Cause there's a part of me that's wishin' I could stay From the sage of Cheyenne on up north to Cody I've drifted like a rollin' tumbleweed And a thousand pair of eyes and smiles that know me Are cryin' every time I turn to leave
And though I've heard New Mexico is magical Chicago town can make you fall in love again You can keep your beaches in Hawaii I'll take the Wyoming Wind
Sometimes I dream of life out on the range Pushin' cattle 'cross the Great Divide And every time I smell that springtime sage I get this wild feelin' deep inside And I long to be where I can see the mountains Stretchin' 'cross that never-ending sky Or standin' on the banks along the mighty Bighorn River Listenin' to the water roll on by
And though I've heard the sun sets over California The Smoky Mountains seem like an old friend You can keep your dusty Texas plains I'll take the Wyoming wind
Can you hear that lonesome coyote howlin' I think I know just how he feels
Because it's down the road and far from here I wander But I know I'll be comin' back again 'Cause all I am and all I ever hope to be Is somewhere in that Wyoming wind Somewhere in that Wyoming wind
