Oh, The Laramie lights Sparkle like diamonds Like the stars fallen down from the night They just kept a-shining And there's a runaway train On the high desert plain Untamed and it won't be fenced in And it's known by the name Of the Wyoming Wind It'll rip through a man Like a bullet, but faster From Cody on down to Cheyenne Clear through to Nebraska Oh, it howls and it haunts Goes where it wants It'll taunt you and get under your skin No, there ain't no shelter From the Wyoming Wind As the tears you did weep Washed the blood from your cheeks And the stars faded into the blue When you heard the wind blowing Did you feel more alone Or did it sound like god whispering to you? Wide open spaces And nothing but time to forget Anger flares up and then fades Like a cowboy cigarette Reservation ghosts Old split-rail fence posts Just echoes remain of our sins They whine, whine, whine On the Wyoming Wind Yes, they whine, whine, whine On the Wyoming Wind
