Verse 1:
We were hunkered down by campfire, the cattle drive was done
To meet up in the spring that was our plan
When a ragged cowboy stepped up to warm his hands
And someone asked, “Hey ain’t you from Cheyenne?”

Chorus:
Cheyenne can never be my home
Though my heart never left I must roam
I am just a drifter, travelin’ alone
Cheyenne can never be my home.

Verse 2:
He said he left his sweetheart there a year ago
When she changed her mind and choose another man
So cowboy if you’re goin’, take some flowers to her door
I couldn’t bear to see her face again

Chorus:
Cheyenne can never be my home
Though my heart never left I must roam
I am just a drifter, travelin’ alone
Cheyenne can never be my home.

Verse 3:
I went there like I promised, they took me to a grave
I laid the flowers on the earth so black
They say she never wed that man, but died from a broken heart
Waitin’ for her cowboy to come back.

Chorus:
Cheyenne can never be my home
Though my heart never left I must roam
I am just a drifter, travelin’ alone
Cheyenne can never be my home.
Can never be my home.
