She  said I get outta work about quarter  past five
You  can pick me up you can  gimme a ride
Meet  me on the corner where  nobody can see
I  got a husband who loves me but  he don't like me
Take  me for a drink at the  Medicine Bow
I  got a pair of new boots that I'm  dying to show
Pop  in a cassette - head  out for Rock Springs
Richard  Ford wrote a book - you  believe that thing
O Wyoming O Wyoming
You  can take me out for dinner if  you got it in ya
There's  a truck stop I love  Little America
When  the traffic thins out we'll hit  the high desert air
Pull  over to the side you won't believe  you're anywhere
If  you got the balls you can strip  off your clothes
Roll  in the bauxite like an  Eskimo
Eskimo  no  that wasn't  right
I  meant like some Indian whose not afraid to turn white
O Wyoming O Wyoming
Promise  me by Salt Lake  we can turn around
Too  much religion for me  in that town
Lotta  people go south spend  the weekend in Denver
Come  back with a bumper sticker  right on their fender
Born  in Cheyenne under the Capitol  dome
I  got an air stream trailer  that I call home
I  wear a lot of makeup and I  got two cats
That  husband of mine never know  where I'm at
O Wyoming O Wyoming
Now  if you were the one  I'd say screw em all
Can  you spare me one of  your ol' Pall Malls?
The  store opens at nine and  I gotta be there
Can  I borrow your rearview  to comb my hair?
If  you need a shirt you  know where to come
Around  Rodeo time it ain't  a lotta fun
The  tourists ride around shooting  fake six shooters
And  the city cowgirls with their  pushed up hooters
O Wyoming O Wyoming
What  I'd really like to do is do  nothing at all
Watch  the Price is Right and  old Lucille Ball
Six  o'clock news I go and fix  me a drink
Starving  babies make my heart  starts to sink
Bosnia  and Somalia that's a  long way long way off
I  know a girl in Jackson Hole who  died of a cough
I  knew you was wild when  you walked in the door
And  dancing the two step all  over the floor
O Wyoming O Wyoming
Now  I like a man who dances  nothing wrong with that
And  long as he's not wearing  no cowboy hat
My  husband and I we  got an agreement
If  he don't catch me he don't  throw me on the cement
Believe  it or not I get so tired  of talking
I  better stop smoking or I won't  stop hawking
Come  on save your money for when  you in bad luck
Here's  my number - now keep  it handy in your truck
 O  Wyoming  O  Wyoming
