"North Of Cheyenne" lyrics

"North Of Cheyenne"

Now I'm north of Cheyenne
Where the road, it just goes on
Know I've done the best I can
Still, I've never been so lost
Out and on my own
Like a coyote in the rain
Now I'm north of Cheyenne
Where the light fades away

Out in Colorado
Thought I'd find my place
Somewhere I'd be free to roam
But what did I know
I'm just a southern boy
A little too far from my home
Played every bar in town
All night
But each night it ends the same
Full of friends fair-weather
Can't even remember my name

Now I'm north of Cheyenne
Where the road, it just goes on
Know I've done the best I can
Still, I've never been so lost
Out and on my own
Like a coyote in the rain
Now I'm north of Cheyenne
Where the light fades away

Once I held a Gypsy
Through the eyes of
Thought she loved me from the start
But she played me like a picture show
Where the bright lights shine
Right through my heart
In the back of my mind
I hear a voice sometimes
Like a distant church bell toll
But it don't slow me down
Oh I was born and bound
For the lonesome road

Now I'm north of Cheyenne
Where the road, it just goes on
Know I've done the best I can
Still, I've never been so lost
Out and on my own
Like a coyote in the rain
Now I'm north of Cheyenne
Where the light fades away

So I'll just let the four wheels run
Go away from everyone
Try to leave this hurt behind
[?] chase [?] dying [?]
Let it push and pull me
On through that borderline
Up where the old man bends
'Neath the prairie wind
And the sweet Borealis play
It occurred to me:
Am I alone or free
Or maybe they're just the same?

Now I'm north of Cheyenne
Where the road, it just goes on
Know I've done the best I can
Still, I've never been so lost
Out and on my own
Like a coyote in the rain
Now I'm north of Cheyenne
Where the light fades away
