I was just a boy

The first time I heard of Cheyenne

I fell in love with the word, and what to me

Seemed such a strange exotic land

Where cowboys

Still rode the high plains

And Heaven kisses the Earth

And a person could be free enough

To find out what he was worth

Cheyenne, someday

Cheyenne, I'm gonna ride the high plains

Cheyenne, can't you just picture me

A city boy in God's Country

I'd never known anywhere

Other than the streets of this town

And too much of anything

Even the best things finally get you down

I'd never been any farther west

Than the shores of Jersey

But, I guess dreams were created

By a God in His infinite mercy

Cheyenne, someday

Cheyenne, I'm gonna ride the high plains

Cheyenne, can't you just picture me

A city boy in God's Country

I've seen a little bit of the world

These last few years

And while I'm still a young man

I've had my share of laughs

Shed my share of tears

Tonight when I get home

I'll settle back

Maybe turn on the TV

Or I could just close my eyes

And Cheyenne is where I will be

Cheyenne, someday

Cheyenne, I'm gonna ride the high plains

Cheyenne, can't you just picture me

A city boy in God's Country

Cheyenne

Cheyenne

Cheyenne

Hey, picture me

A city boy in God's Country
