Verse 1:
RE LAI grew up in Wyoming
In and around Jackson's hole
LAIn the shadows of the Tetons
Where summers are hot
And winters unbearably cold
SOLBut the Spring and the Fall
REAre always as good as it gets
For over 70 years now
REI'd watch the sun rise and set
Verse 2:
LAI've been a cowboy
Working the round-ups in spring
LAI've lived in the mountains
Hunted the grizzly
Trapping the rivers and streams
SOLAlways the loner
REI've treasured my freedom the most
And though i never married
REAs a young man i might have come close
Verse 3:
SOLFrom somewhere back east
She came to the valley
REWith a man who did her no good
SOLHe was fast with the ladies
A tin horn gambler
REAnd a cheat whenever he could
SOLShe had no friends or family
Most of the time he was gone
LAHe died in a card game
REAnd she found herself all alone
Verse 4:
Alone and afraid and left unprotected
RE'Cause he was all that she had
SOLMaybe i should have
But i never told her
RESo she never knew he was bad
SOLBut i'll always remember
Standing and watching her cry
LAThere was no one to help her
REBut i was determined to try
Verse 5:
I mended her fences and
Fixed up her cabin
REI had everything looking good
I laid by her food
And wood for the winter
REHelping wherever i could
The more i was around her
REThe more i wanted to be
LAThere was something about her
That brought out a good side of me
Verse 6:
SOLI went into town,i brought a new outfit
REI got me a haircut and shave
I'd trek through the snow
For no good reason
REJust to go by her cabin each day
I don't know about love
REBut i was quite taken in by it all
LATill her brother came in the Spring
And he took her back to St. Paul
Verse 7:
LAI don't go down to Jackson
REAin't nothing there but motels and bars
Too damn many tourists
No place to hide
REThey'll find you wherever you are
They like to call me old timer
REI am getting older i guess
LABut i don't like the changes
'Cause i've seen it all at its best
Verse 8:
LAWhen my life is over
REI don't want to be left in town
But up in the mountains
There is a place
REI've marked off my own piece of ground
High in the Tetons
REAbove and away from it all
LAFrom the top of old Grand
I bet on a clear day - you can see
REAll the way to St. Paul
