[Verse 1]

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 come on Monday

To fix the door and patch the wall

They say she just went crazy

The night she got the call


[Verse 2]

Well, 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 all the dreams that they'd been livin'

In the California sand

Died right there beside him in Cheyenne


[Chorus 1]

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


[Verse 3]

They never found her body

Just her diary by the 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 never come back from Cheyenne"


[Chorus 1]

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


[Chorus 2]

Nobody can explain it

Some say she's still alive

They've even claimed they've seen her

On the shoreline late at night

'Cause if you go down by the water

You'll see her footprints in the sand

'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne


[Outro]

Yes, every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
