[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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
[Twenty-first?] all night
But each night it ends the same
Full of friends fair-weather
Can't even remember my name

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Once I held a Gypsy [rogue?]
Through the eyes of [black diamond?]
Thought she loved me from the start
But she played me like a picture show
Where the bright lights shine
Right through my [flailing?] 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
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
