Chris Ledoux Paint Me Back Home In Wyoming Lyrics

Paint Me Back Home In Wyoming Lyrics

She was painting a picture of slum life when the cowboy came limping by



Wearing tattered old boots with one sole gone and a far away look in his eye



Well he watched for a while as she painted and then he said mama you surely
paint well



Yes you got all this on your canvas the dirt the squalor and the hell



Well she asked to paint him in the setting ah but he shook his head slowly and
low



He said naw I wont fit your picture unless you can paint be back home



Can you paint me back home in Wyoming riding free neath the big sky above



Free as the wind on the prairie out in the hills that I love



I long to get back to Wyoming and I've hoped all these years that I can



Please paint me back home on your canvas paint me back in Wyoming again







Well I never claimed this festered city



You know I was raised on a ranch out in the west



I spent my young years bustin' horses and boy they said I could ride with the
best



So I came here to Madison Square Garden to ride in the big rodeo



Ah but I got stepped on and all crippled up and chute bronc bustin' is all I
know



Ah boy if I could just get back to Wyoming I wouldn't feel so alone



Ah but the pain is too much for the roamin' so please can you paint me back
home



Can you paint me back home in Wyoming...
