Cheyenne

Let the moonlight carry me
O'er the rivers through the trees
Into my lover's waitin' arms
Curse my ramblin' heart
For keepin' us apart
I've only memories
To keep me warm
Beatin' on these jailhouse bars
Starin' at the midnight stars
Slowly wearin' 'way at the seams
If this is the price I pay
I'll sleep in this bed I've made
And live what could have been
In my dreams
On a killin' floor in Omaha
Got word of a job out West
They picked me up
Three weeks ago
I guess you know the rest
Never meant it to go that far
You know I'm a peaceful man
Everyone has a breakin' point
I found mine in Cheyenne
Beatin' on these jailhouse bars
Starin' at the midnight stars
Slowly wearin' 'way at the seams
If this is the price I pay
I'll sleep in this bed I've made
And live what could have been
In my dreams
Never been good at goodbyes
So I'll just tell it to ya quick
Don't wait for me honey
I ain't gettin' out of this fix
It brings me a smile
That for a short while
I was able to walk the line
May each vision you see
When you look back at me
Slip free from
The cruel hands of time
Each night I am graced
With maidens of lace
And feasts that are fit
For a king
Then I open my eyes
As the sun starts to rise
And the dove on my sill
Warms its wings
Beatin' on these jailhouse bars
Starin' at the midnight stars
Slowly wearin' 'way at the seams
If this is the price I pay
I'll sleep in this bed I've made
And live what could have been
In my dreams
