James McMurtry - "Lights Of Cheyenne"

Lyrics to Lights Of Cheyenne :

Look off down the highway

at the glittering lights

Like windshield glass

on the shoulder tonight

As the diesels come 

grinding on up from the plains

All bunched up like pearls on a string 

And I guess time dont mean nothin

Not nothin at all

And out on the horizon

the broken stars fall

Old broken stars they

fall down on the land

And get mixed together

with the lights of Cheyenne



Well Ive been up all night

and Im down on my back

Workin the counter

to take up the slack

`Cause the money trees light

and the whiskey streams low

You aint worked a week 

since July



You say the gravel pits hiring

After the first

But you dont have the

nature for that kind of work

You might get hired on

But you wont make a hand

And Ill still be here lookin 

at the lights of Cheyenne



You stand in the sky 

with your feet on the ground

Never suspectin a thing

But if the sky were to

move you might never be found

Never be heard from again



We go on good behavior when 

our youngest comes home

She comes up from Boulder 

but she never stays long

And that oldest still fights 

me like she was 18

Stopped in for a 6-pack awhile ago



And shes got a cowboy problem 

And this last ones a sight

All dressed up like Gunsmoke

for Saturday night

And they were off to the bars

for lack of a plan

Racing the stars to the lights of Cheyenne



And youve kept all that

meanness inside you so long

Youd fight with a fence post

if it looked at your wrong

Well the post wont hit back, 

and it wont call the law

I look at your right, 

or I dont look at all



Now take a crumpled up 

soft pack and give it a shake

Out by the dumpster on a cigarette break

With one eye swelled up from

the back of your hand

And the other eye fixed 

on the lights of Cheyenne



You stand in the sky with 

your feet on the ground

Never suspectin a thing

But if the sky were to 

move you might never be found

Never be heard from again



Now theres antelope grazing

in range of my gun

Come opening weekend 

you wont see a one

Theyll vanish like ghosts 

`cause somehow they know

But now theyre up to the

fence in the early dawn



And its warming up nicely 

for this time of year

The creeks are still frozen but

the roads are all clear

And I dont have it in me

to make one more stand

Though I never much cared f

or the lights of Cheyenne
