The sands of time run swiftly now-
My cowboyin’s nearly done.
Accordin’ to my point of view,
I had a real good run.

I’d like to make my last request-
To you bronc ridin’ hands…
When I have drawn my final breath-
Just take me to Cheyenne.

You know she’s known to cowboys-
As the Daddy of ‘em All.
When you’ve done good at Cheyenne…
You can rightly stand real tall.

Lane Frost is still behind the chutes-
When cowboys rosin up-
I dreamed of buckin’ out up there-
Since I was just a pup-

You can cremate my body-
Put the ashes in a can…
And scatter them across the dirt-
At the big show in Cheyenne.
