about

A musicians wanted ad posted saying, “Wanted- someone, prefer fellow musician, to travel to Wyoming with me and my tin cup, never been there but the picture on the tin cup sure looks nice.” Thought it might make a good story.

lyrics

Wyoming
(in the key of G)

Well I've never been to Wyoming,
I thought I heard her say.
I would've gone a long time ago,
But the road just got in the way

Well I think I know just what you mean,
I said to her in goodbye.
And as I turned around to leave,
She looked at me and smiled.

She said strangers meet in the strangest ways,
and old friends disappear like smoke.
I said if you don't mind me saying so,
You could use a little of both.

Well it only takes one careless smile,
A simple twist of phrase.
You can plan all you want to,
But life goes day by day.

Chorus 1:
And Wyoming seems so far... anyway



She said let me show you this old tin cup,
Now it ain't worth a dime.
Bought it years ago at the local thrift shop,
Its been with me all this time.

On the side it said Wyoming,
On the bottom, Made in China.
Painted with Rolling Plains and Country Roads,
and a Jackson Hole Buffalo.

She said it wasn't much good for drinkin' from,
And it would just kill all her flowers,
You would hardly notice it a sittin there
Collecting change on the Kitchen counter

Now Stranger, you might find it hard to believe,
That this clanky old souvenir,
Is what started me dreaming 'bout a place,
A thousand miles away from here.

Chorus Two:

And Wyoming seems so far,
But I guess Home is where you are... anywhere.

Bridge:

Well I listened to her story
And we drank scotch straight from that tin
After that next morning
I never heard from her again
But she left that ole beat up cup
With a note folded up inside
It said you’ll know where to find me… anytime

Chorus 3

But Wyoming seems so far,
You know home is anywhere your heart
Wants to be…


(Fade out on G)
Well I’ve never been to Wyoming…

Brett Allen Gregory Livermore, California

I've always been compelled to write.

Early on it was journaling and poetry, but then that merged with my guitar addiction to become songwriting.

The process was always a bit manic, pressured, as if a large gorilla had stepped into my room, grabbed me by the lapels and said, "I will not let you sleep until you write this idea down." And so for years the gorilla and I danced madly thru the night. ... more
