	D	A
I	grew up	in Wyoming

In the shad	ows of the Tetons

Where summers are hot

And winters unbearably c	old

Are always as good as it g	ets

For over	70 years now

I'd watch the sun rise and	set

Trapping the rivers and str	eams

Alwa	ys the loner

Helping wherever i c	ould

The m	ore i was around her

There was	something about her

That brought out a good side of	me

Verse 6:

	G
I w	ent into town,i brought a new outfit

For no good reason

Just to	go by her cabin each day
