THE LONG ROAD TO LARAMIE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

the sky ahead is big as day
Wyoming winters are so cold
on the long road to Laramie
back to a girl I used to know

I left my home some years ago
I thought I'd find what I could see
but now I know what I don't know
on the long road to Laramie

there was a West so many years
back when the plains were old
so many miles so many tears
so many stories told

the cowboys now all drive a truck
the outlaws now are cops
and Laramie is just another
place where time has stopped

the sky ahead is big as day
Wyoming winters are so cold
it's a long road to Laramie
back to a girl I used to know

I left my home some years ago
I thought I'd find what I could see
but now I know what I don't know
on the long road to Laramie

and when I do I'll touch the sun
and swear to God I knew
and overhead the stroke of noon
impossible the blue

and if she's waiting that is good
if not then so be it
I took the chances that I could
but love will just not quit

the sky ahead is big as day
Wyoming winters are so cold
on the long road to Laramie
back to a girl I used to know

I left my home some years ago
I thought I'd find what I could see
but now I know what I don't know
the long road to Laramie
