Break away from a winding path of fruitless escapades
You’ve seen the Blue Ridge Mountains and the luscious Everglades
Make yourself at home and settle down in an open field
Just give it time, your soul will heal
Oh, to look outside and see there ain’t no one around
There’s something captivating 'bout the empty, barren ground
A wild horse might pass you by, or a dancing tumbleweed
But love the still, it’s all you need
The racing games of Louisville will only wear you out
Reconsider tangibles you cannot live without
Pack your bags and lock your door, we’re leaving yesterday
So let your woes just drift away
Through your dusty window you’ll be given seeing eyes
Let the light come in and let your needs be realized
Pull your saddle off the shelf and leave the world behind
The things we do for peace of mind

Wyoming is the place for me and you
It was the 44th state to join the crew
I know no one really lives there
But I heard the weather’s decent, so that’s fair
Its name means a big plain
And I hear it’s got a lot of deer
So will you join me so we can go to the equality state called
Wyoming
Wyoming
Wyoming is the place for me
I assure that you won’t be deterred
Cause they had the first female governor
Wyoming is a place in which I dote
It was the first state to give the right to vote (to women)
Its name means a big plain
And I hear it’s got a lot of deer
So will you join me so we can go to the equality state called
Wyoming
Wyoming
Wyoming is the place for me
Wyoming gave the Sundance Kid his name
Wyoming makes bison free to reign
And I don’t want to be disappointing
But there’s no Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming (aw, shucks)
But Wyoming’s got so much more than that
It’s where Rocky trained in Rocky IV, how ‘bout that
Old Faithful, Dinosaurs, the first monument
Wyoming is the best thing in my life to ever happen
Its name means a big plain
And I hear it’s got a lot of deer
So will you join me so we can go to the equality state called
Wyoming
Wyoming
Wyoming is the place for me
