|
In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne |
|
They had to carry away that brave young man |
|
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan |
|
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne |
|
Lookin' back it doesn't seem so long ago |
|
He was bigger than life, God rest his soul |
|
Why he died that day is hard to understand |
|
Right there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne |
|
(Chorus) |
|
So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while |
|
And take time to remember that cowboy's smile |
|
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan |
|
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne |
|
No buckles on a shelf collecting dust |
|
Still his memory shines inside of all of us |
|
Some miss their hero, some miss their friend |
|
His mom and daddy long to see their little boy again |
|
(Chorus) |
|
In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne |
|
They had to carry away that brave young man |
|
If your washed in the blood someday you'll see him again |
|
And it won't be in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne |
