My Sweet Wyoming Home
By Bill Staines
There's a silence on the prairie
That a man can't help but feel;
There a shadow growing longer now,
And nipping at my heels.
For I know that soon that old four-lane
That runs beneath my wheels
Will take me home to my sweet Wyoming home.

I headed down the road last summer
With a few old friends of mine.
They all hit the money, Lord,
I didn't make a dime.
The entrance fees they took my dough,
And the travelin' took my time,
And now I'm headed home to my sweet Wyoming home.

Cho:
Watch the moon smiling in the sky
And hum a tune, a prairie lullaby.
A peaceful wind, an old coyote's cry
A song of home, my sweet Wyoming home.

Bridge:
Well, the rounders they all wish you luck
When they know you're in a jam.
But your money's ridin' on the bull,
And he don't give a damn.

Well there's shows in all the cities,
The cities turn your heart to clay;
It takes all a man can muster
Just to try and get away.
And the songs I'm used to hearin'
Ain't the kind the jukebox plays,
And now I'm headed home to my sweet Wyoming home.

Cho.

You know I've always loved the ridin',
There ain't nothin' quite the same,
And another year may bring the luck
Of winning all the game.
There's a magpie on the fencerail,
And he's callin' out my name,
And he calls me home to my sweet Wyoming home.

Show Me The Road

Too many miles I have traveled all alone

show me the road that leads to my home,

Strangers, strangers, everywhere I roam

Show me the road that leads to my home

Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind

Show me the road that leads to my home,

Finding precious little peace, and losing precious time

Show me the road that leads to my home

Chorus

Show me a sign, tell me a reason

Cold winds have scattered the seeds I've sown

Oh, just let me live to see another morning

And show me the road that leads to my home

Such a long, long journey it seems we've traveled on

Show me the road that leads to my home

Such a short time here friends, and such a long time gone

Show me the road that leads to my home

Chorus

Rememberin' just the good times, feeling just the pain

Show me the road that leads to my home

I'm hearing just the sad songs, seeing just the rain

Show me the road that leads to my home

Chorus

I'd always thought that "Home" songs with a specific location in them -- the first one here and "Take Me Home, Country Roads" being two good examples -- should dump Doug in that location, whether or not they actually get him home. In fact, I have a fragment somewhere in which "Country Roads" drops Doug in the real-world Kat and Joe's yard in West Virginia...
