VERSE 1

Cadd9 LookG off down the highway at the Cadd9glittering Glights

Cadd9 LikeG windshield Eglass on the shoulder Dsus4tonight

  As the dCadd9iesels come grinding on Dsus4up from the plaEm7ins

  All bGunched up like pearCadd9ls on a string Dsus4

  And I guess Gtime don't mean nothin' Not nCadd9othin' at all G

Cadd9 And oGut on the Em7horizon the broken stars fDsus4all

Cadd9 Old broken stars they fall Dsus4down on the landEm7

  And gGet mixed Cadd9together with the lDsus4ights of CheyennGe

VERSE 2

Cadd9 Well I'veG been up all night and I'm Cadd9down on my Gback

Cadd9 WGorkin' the cEm7ounter to take up the Dsus4slack

  Cause the mCadd9oney tree's light and the Dsus4whiskey stream's lowEm7

  You Gain't worked a Cadd9week since July Dsus4

  You say the gGravel pit's hiring Cadd9After the Gfirst

Cadd9 But you Gdon't have the Em7nature for that kind of Dsus4work

  YouCadd9 might get hired on But you Dsus4won't make a hand Em7

  And I'll Gstill be here Cadd9lookin' at the Dsus4lights of CheyennGe

CHORUS

  You Dsus4stand in the sky

  with your Cadd9feet on the Gground

  Dsus4Never suspectin' a thiCadd9ng

  But if the Dsus4sky were to

  move you might Cadd9never be Gfound

  Em7 [G/f#] Cadd9

Never be heard from again

VERSE 3

Cadd9 We gGo on good behavior when our Cadd9youngest comes Ghome

Cadd9 She Gcomes up from Em7Boulder but she never stays Dsus4long

  And that Cadd9oldest still fights me like Dsus4she was 18 Em7

  StoppedG in for a 6-packCadd9 awhile ago Dsus4

  And she's got a cGowboy problem And this Cadd9last one's a Gsight

Cadd9 All Gdressed up like Em7Gunsmoke for Saturday nDsus4ight

  And they were Cadd9off to the bars for Dsus4lack of a plan Em7

  GRacing the Cadd9stars to the Dsus4lights of CheyennGe

(little solo part goes here)

VERSE 4

Cadd9 And you've Gkept all that meanness Cadd9inside you so Glong

Cadd9 You'd Gfight with a Em7fence post if it looked at your Dsus4wrong

  Well the Cadd9post won't hit back, and it Dsus4won't call the lawEm7

  I lGook at your right, or I dCadd9on't look at allDsus4

  Now take a Gcrumpled up soft pack andCadd9 give it a Gshake

Cadd9 OGut by the Em7dumpster on a cigarette Dsus4break

  With Cadd9one eye swelled up from the Dsus4back of your hanEm7d

  And the Gother eye Cadd9fixed on the Dsus4lights of CheyennGe

Chorus

VERSE 5

Cadd9 Now there's Gantelope grazing in Cadd9range of my gunG

Cadd9 Come Gopening weekend you Em7won't see a oneDsus4

  They'll Cadd9vanish like ghosts `cause Dsus4somehow they knoEm7w

  But now Gthey're up to the fencCadd9e in the early daDsus4wn

  And it's Gwarming up nicely forCadd9 this time of yeaGr

Cadd9 The Gcreeks are still Em7frozen but the roads are all Dsus4clear

  And I Cadd9don't have it in me to Dsus4make one more staEm7nd

  Though I Gnever much Cadd9cared f or the Dsus4lights of CheyennGe
