John Denver - Song of Wyoming (Country Roads Collection)
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
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
Words and music by Kent Lewis
John Denver - Song of Wyoming (Cover by Acoustic Phases) (03:15)
A song written and performed by John Denver years ago and it is one of my favorites by him, probibly
somewhat unknown as the raidio stations never played so you would not know of it unless you listened
to his albums at home. Its about a lonly drifting cowboy in Wyoming.

Somehow I missed this one when I was younger. I always loved John Denver's voice, and this song is right on the money with the words!

Thank you very much. I too believe that people are much the same across the globe, the same worries and just doing ones best to live and let live. J D's music just brings us all together. :-)

I'm new to YT, but must say that your video images are so "right on" for the music you feature, Catbrush! John D. sought to teach people all over the world that we have much in common despite any differences. Isn't it interesting that his music is still introducing people from all over the world to one another? BTW, your images of the children with the dogs are so touching - made me smile. Love and tolerance - it's what we all need, eh?
