From The Windsong Album

Well, Im weary and tired, Ive done my days ridin
Nighttime is rollin my way
The skys all on fire and the lights 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, Ive wandered around the town and the city
Tried to figure the how and the why
Well, Ive stopped all my schemin
Im 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 theres a coyote singin
A Song of Wyoming for me

Now its 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

  • another awesome video you do a gereat job w/ j.d. songs and vids keep em comin!

  • @montanaflytyer Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. I've almost come to the end of my JD collection but i've still a few more left to do..... :-)

  • Being from Wyoming and no longer living there, this song makes me all misty.

    I notice that many of the pictures in the video are not of Wyoming, though.

    Still a great video. Very soothing.

  • @bohntn1j It's difficullt to find public domain pictures of Wyoming so I used images that go with the words of the song instead.. I did find one though.... your flower!!  Thanks for visiting. :-)

  • First of your videos I've watched and I can't believe how wonderfully you've captured the song and the meaning. Like dagocleo I will watch it over and over. Thanks.

  • Heartfelt thanks for your lovely comment... :-)

  • I've lived in Wyoming my whole life and couldn't possibly picture myself living anywhere else because separation from this historic and beautiful land filled with pine forests, mountains, plains, and wildlife would be too much for me to take. I truly am sorry for anyone who has never gotten to visit our state, or has never gotten to look out their window and see a mountain rise, a valley, or a field of gold. This is Wyoming, home of the cowboy and land of heart.

  • PURE SONG !!!

  • I've lived in Wyoming my entire life and I've never even ridden a horse or been on a ranch. I don't even know a cowboy.

  • I was singing this in my head yesterday. Haven't heard it in years but have never forgotten it. Thanks again catbrush123

  • Reminds me of my younger days. Smells, sounds en views of nature all felt so much more intense. Think I have to go to the mountains again for a long, long walk to find that back. :D

  • @Clof1959 ; Thank you Bob, very much. Wonderful vid and song too. I am sure, your holiday was amazing.

    All the best, for all 4 of you.

    Mihaela.

  • John Denver used to come into the Hayden airport when I worked there in the 1980's. I used to fuel his Lear 35 and rent cars to him. He had an adopted girl who attended Perry Mansfield in Steamboat Springs. I wouldn't presume to say that I knew him, but I was acquainted with him. He was always very decent and personable. I was shocked and saddened to learn of his untimely death.
