They packed up all his buckles
And shipped his saddle to his dad.
And by the way the house looked
She must have took it bad...
The workers came on Monday
To fix the door and patch the wall.
They say she just went crazy
The night she got the call.
He was up in Wyoming;
And drew a bull no man could ride.
He promised her he'd turn out.
Well it turned out that he lied.
AND THEIR DREAMS THAT THEY'D BEEN LIVIN'
IN THE CALIFORNIA SAND
DIED RIGHT THERE BESIDE HIM IN CHEYENNE...
They say she just went crazy,
Screamin' out his name.
She ran out into the ocean.
And to this day, they claim
That if you go down by the water
You'll see her foot prints in the sand.
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne.
They never found her body,
Just her diary by her bed.
It told about the fight they had
And the words that she had said.
When he told her he was ridin'..
She said then I don't give a damn
If you ever come back from Cheyenne.
They say she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name.
She ran out into the ocean.
And to this day they claim
That if you go down by the water,
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne.
Nobody can explain it.
Some say she's still alive.
They even claim they've seen her
On the shoreline late at night.
So if you go down by the water,
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne.
EVERY NIGHT SHE WALKS THE BEACHES OF CHEYENNE!

(And Sung by Garth Brooks)
At night when the sky is still
When the south wind blows
And the air is warm,
There's a world that is born.
And for every child on the beach that day,
Stands a castle tall and proud.
And the warm wind crawls
Through the castle walls;
And the night folk wake
As the warm wind calls.
Then the fiddler crab plays his violin
On the back of a dancing whale,
While the mermaids sing
To the shells they bring
And the dragon leads
With his sweeping tail.
For the rosey dawn brings the children on
To the beach that's bright and new.
And the night folks know
As the castles grow,
They will play once more
As the children do...
(Sung by Elvis Presley in "Paradise, Hawaiian Style")
