Lyrics
Muddy Cheyenne
copyright 8/11/98
Verse
I cast my line into the muddy Cheyenne
tryin' to forget
tryin' to outlive regret.
Something 'bout that river.
It calls to me.
Can't see the bottom.
Answers are not given,
but a new chance is around the bend.
Chorus
Oh, muddy Cheyenne
wash me clean.
Muddy Cheyenne,
take the past and let me dream.
Repeat first three line of verse humming.
Somethin' 'bout that river
it calls to me.
Can't see the bottom.
Answers are not given,
but a new chance is around the bend.
Chorus
Take the past and let me dream.
