"In The Wild Wyoming Skies"

[Verse 1]
Devil's Tower rises stark and strong
Against the prairie sky
Where ancient stories still live on
In columns reaching high
Through sacred circles drawn in stone
By those who came before
While eagles nest in weathered peaks
Above the Belle Fourche's shore

[Chorus]
From prairie grass to painted cliffs
Where antelope still play
Past badland buttes that catch the drift
Of storms that roll away
Through Bighorn's mighty wilderness
Where medicine wheel turns
These high plains keep their mysteries
While western daylight burns

[Verse 2]
Through Bighorn peaks where glaciers carved
Their chambers wild and deep
Past Shell Falls' thundering cascade
Where mountain spirits leap
Along the Medicine Wheel's old path
Where stars align with stone
While Cloud Peak guards its alpine lakes
In solitude alone

[Verse 3]
Across the Dubois Badlands rim
Where colored layers show
Through painted hills and sculpted cliffs
Where ancient rivers flowed
Past Red Desert's shifting dunes
Where wild horses run
While pronghorn race the western wind
Beneath the setting sun

[Verse 4]
Fort Laramie still stands in watch
Where wagon trains once rolled
Through tall grass prairies rolling free
Like waves of green and gold
Past Vedauwoo's weathered stones
Where climbers test their skill
While Time's slow hand keeps carving on
Through Wyoming still

[Chorus]
From prairie grass to painted cliffs
Where antelope still play
Past badland buttes that catch the drift
Of storms that roll away
Through Bighorn's mighty wilderness
Where medicine wheel turns
These high plains keep their mysteries
While western daylight burns
…In The Wild Wyoming Skies
