Old Cheyenne Lyrics - The Early Year - Joe Nichols

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 

I wonder what she's doin' back in old Cheyenne 

Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been? 

Looking back I was such a fool, I held her love in the palm of my hand 

I had it all back in old Cheyenne 

That final show, that buckle of gold, it never came to me 

I'm far from the hero I thought I'd be 

A rollin' stone in the rodeo that's not what I had in mind 

And now there's more than these old broken bones breakin' here tonight 

I wonder what she's doin' back in old Cheyenne 

Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been 

Looking back I was such a fool, I held her love in the palm of my hand 

I had it all back in old Cheyenne 

I'm bluer than the Rocky Mountains 

Lonesome as a northern wind 

And what I'd give to hold her once again 

I wonder what she's doin' back in old Cheyenne 

Does she ever dream of me and how it might have been 

Looking back I was such a fool, I held her love in the palm of my hand 

I had it all back in old Cheyenne
