[Intro]
[Verse]
Oh, The Laramie lights
Sparkle like diamonds
Like the stars fallen down from the night
They just kept a-shining
And there s a runaway train
On the high desert plain
Untamed and it won t be fenced in
And it s known by the name
Of the Wyoming Wind
[Verse]
It ll rip through a man
Like a bullet, but faster
From Cody on down to Cheyenne
Clear through to Nebraska
Oh, it howls and it haunts
Goes where it wants
It ll taunt you and get under your skin
No, there ain t no shelter
From the Wyoming Wind
[Verse]
As the tears you did weep
Washed the blood from your cheeks
And the stars faded into the blue
When you heard the wind blowing
Did you feel more alone
Or did it sound like god whispering to you?
[Verse]
Wide open spaces
And nothing but time to forget
Anger flares up and then fades
like a cowboy cigarette
Reservation ghosts
Old split-rail fence posts
Just echoes remain of our sins
They whine, whine, whine
On the Wyoming Wind
Yes, they whine, whine, whine
On the Wyoming Wind
