Tom Paxton A Daughter In Denver
A daughter in Denver, a son in Cheyenne
An ex-wife in Dallas with a suitable man
I'm out on this prairie where the winter winds blow
I'm thinkin' about them and missin' them so
My old man kept his feelin's hidden inside
And I turned out the same no matter how hard I tried
And this is somethin' my family came to know well
I knew I loved them but there was no way they could tell
A daughter in Denver, a son in Cheyenne
An ex-wife in Dallas with a suitable man
I'm out on this prairie where the winter wind blow
Thinkin' about them and missin' them so
Now it's half-an-hour by truck just to look at a tree
Its eighteen hundred acres of nothin' but me
Just me and some prairie dogs livin' what passes for life
All that I know is I'm missin' my kids and my wife
A daughter in Denver, a son in Cheyenne
An ex-wife in Dallas with a suitable man
I'm out on this prairie where the winter wind blow
I'm thinkin' about them and missin' them so
I'm thinkin' about them and missin' them so
A daughter in Denver, a son in Cheyenne
