Bought a ticket to Wyoming
Tossed another life away
Left, and a lotta things I didn't get to say


I know your daddy didn't like me
He said I wasn't up to any good
So I high-tailed it to Wyoming 'cause I could


'Cause out here the air is very clear
And the mornin' dew will see you through the day
A sky so wide you can leave your past behind
And lose yourself, and even change your name


Bought another ticket to Wyoming
That's sorta what this letter's all about
Bought it hopin' you'd consider movin' out


And so, I'll meet you at the station
When your train rolls into town
Just make sure that you're a-wearing
Your wedding gown
