Wyoming is a state of "100 miles to go" and "You can't get there from here"
Roads that end in the the heat shimmers of the desert
Towns that blend seamlessly into the sand the sagebrush the hills and gas wells
Towns of dirty roads dirty bars dirty homes and dirty faces
Endless ends end in endless mountains and endless prairies
Signs for "here" and "there" really mean "Nowhere" and "Somewhere Else"
Rivers run dry and oil wells flow wet with the heavy hooch that quenches no thirst for spirits
And I drive alone and aware and surrounded by Wyoming
And the sign says "20 miles" but we all know it's unreachable at this pace
Towns that blend seamlessly into the sand the sagebrush the hills and gas wells
Towns of dirty roads dirty bars dirty homes and dirty faces
Endless ends end in endless mountains and endless prairies
Signs for "here" and "there" really mean "Nowhere" and "Somewhere Else"
Rivers run dry and oil wells flow wet with the heavy hooch that quenches no thirst for spirits
And I drive alone and aware and surrounded by Wyoming
And the sign says "20 miles" but we all know it's unreachable at this pace
