[Verse 1]
I pulled out in a dusty cloud on a hot night in July
With big tears rollin' down she waved goodbye
Just out of my teens with foolish dreams and big stars in my eyes
And now I've had a million second thoughts of what I left behind

[Chorus]
I wonder what she's doing back in Old Cheyenne
Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been?
Lookin' back I'm such a fool, I held her love in the palm of my hand
I had it all back in Old Cheyenne

[Verse 2]
The final show, that buckle of gold, it never came to me
I'm far from the hero I'd thought I'd be
A rolling stone in the rodeo it's not what I had in mind
And now there's more than these old broken bones breakin' here tonight

[Chorus]
I wonder what she's doing back in Old Cheyenne
Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been?
Lookin' back I'm such a fool, I held her love in the palm of my hand
I had it all back in Old Cheyenne

[Bridge]
I'm bluer than the Rocky Mountains
Lonesome as a northern wind
And what I'd give to hold her once again
[Chorus]
I wonder what she's doing back in Old Cheyenne
Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been?
Lookin' back I'm such a fool, I held her love in the palm of my hand
I had it all back in Old Cheyenne
