Micky & The Motorcars Rock Springs To Cheyenne Lyrics

Written by: Kip Attaway

I don’t think that I’ll ever forget the winter of ‘72

It must have been the coldest year that I ever knew

I left my home in Dallas to head out for Idaho

Before I reached Colorado I hit three feet of snow

Chorus:

Singing Lord, let the wind blow you know I’m so cold

Rock Springs to Cheyenne is a bad stretch I’ve been told

2 o’clock in the morning on Thanksgiving Day

It’s a damn good thing I’m a God fearing man

I’ve been forced to pray

Yeah it’s a damn good thing I’m a God fearing man

I’ve been forced to pray

There’s a little dog riding by my side And he’s shivering just like me

And Lord I’m kind of glad it’s dark outside

Cause there really ain’t nothing to see

I kinda wish I had a radio to take my mind off you

I got my hands on the wheel of something that’s real

And my fingers are turning blue

Chorus

I learned a lesson in Denver and again in San Antone

There’s lies in California

And you know the truth’s in Mountain Home

How can you trust your brother,

When you can’t even trust yourself

And your love’s what keeps your woman

From being with somebody else

Chorus
