I was just a boy
The first time I heard of Cheyenne
I fell in love with the word, and what to me
Seemed such a strange exotic land
Where cowboys
Still rode the high plains
And Heaven kisses the Earth
And a person could be free enough
To find out what he was worth

Cheyenne, someday
Cheyenne, I'm gonna ride the high plains
Cheyenne, can't you just picture me
A city boy in God's Country

I'd never known anywhere
Other than the streets of this town
And too much of anything
Even the best things finally get you down
I'd never been any farther west
Than the shores of Jersey
But, I guess dreams were created
By a God in His infinite mercy

Cheyenne, someday
Cheyenne, I'm gonna ride the high plains
Cheyenne, can't you just picture me
A city boy in God's Country

I've seen a little bit of the world
These last few years
And while I'm still a young man
I've had my share of laughs
Shed my share of tears
Tonight when I get home
I'll settle back
Maybe turn on the TV
Or I could just close my eyes
And Cheyenne is where I will be

Cheyenne, someday
Cheyenne, I'm gonna ride the high plains
Cheyenne, can't you just picture me
A city boy in God's Country

Cheyenne
Cheyenne
Cheyenne
Hey, picture me
A city boy in God's Country
