Two men are drinking coffee and talkin’ all about the country
Mary’s in a corner booth, thinking about her next move
Defensive hands between her thighs as if the AC’s on too high
I ask her what she does for fun
“lots of things but #1 is to leave Cheyenne”
“I want you to leave Cheyenne”
Waitress comes to fill her glass
silent seconds like hours passing
I ask her where she’d like to go
Anywhere don’t you know that
Tennessee it might be nice or
California winter times
Washington, Oregon, ocean, inland, rain or sun;
Just leave Cheyenne
I want you to leave her
Cheyenne
I hear the bell start to rattle
The morning crowd starts to settle
Can’t you see where we’ve end up
I wish someone would interrupt
She says, “if you love her so fiercely
Then why are you still here with me”
come on boy, come to your sense
the gate is open, tear down those fences
Leave Cheyenne
