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
Dm G C
Will take me home; to my Sweet Wyoming Home.

F
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 travelin' took my time;
Dm G C
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 coyotes cry
G C
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

And he calls me home, To my Sweet Wyoming Home
