Song Of Wyoming Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Windsong album, and has also been released on the Country Classics and The Country Roads Collection albums. 

Well, I'm weary and tired, I've done my day's ridin' 

Nighttime is rollin' my way 

The sky's all on fire and the light's slowly fading 

Peaceful and still ends the day 

Out on the trail night birds are callin' 

Singin' their wild melody 

Down in the canyon cottonwood whispers 

A Song of Wyoming for me

Well, I've wandered around the town and the city 

Tried to figure the how and the why 

Well, I've stopped all my schemin' 

I'm just driftin' and dreamin' 

Watching the river roll by 

Here comes that big ole prairie moon risin' 

Shinin' down bright as can be 

Up on the hill there's a coyote singin' 

A Song of Wyoming for me 

Photos 

Now it's whiskey and tobacco and bitter black coffee 

A lonesome old dogie am I 

But wakin' up on the range 

Lord I feel like an angel 

Free like I almost could fly 

Drift like a cloud out over the badlands 

Sing like a bird in the tree 

The wind in the sage sounds like heaven singin' 

A Song of Wyoming for me 

A Song of Wyoming for me
