As I look out across the desert Shoshoni, Arapahoe, [Clovis], Cheyenne Homesteaders, ranchers, uranium miners We all watch the movement of clay and of sand Chorus: Wyoming, I belong in your valleys Your wandering rivers, and your flowering meadows Wyoming your rocks, your eagles and skies I may wander all over, but my heart stays right here Sifting through the depths of time Reptiles roamed here, by land and by sea [Merry] chickens they strut and they dance now Nothing stays here indefinitely Antelope skip across the red desert Boom and bust it’s been all along Wyoming has a way of changing Someday soon this will all be gone Like gods we purge the top of the mountain Crevices cradle the life within Live like the window, Wyoming will lose you A changing face of a timeless land
