‘Thermopolis’

The stars are hanging overhead, 

Driving all day I need my bed, 

Looking for a place to rest just west of Casper. 

Got pulled over earlier today, 

Stoned out of my mind, I somehow got away. 

Looking for a place to stay just west of Casper. 

Thermopolis Wyoming, king of the prairie. 

Thermopolis Wyoming, my head is wary. 

A place you can see for miles and miles, 

Not another town in sight. 

No clouds on the windmill horizon I’m looking for a bite. 

Mark’s Bar across the way I’ll take a beer, 

As the miles grow further I wish you were here, 

But the miles mean nothing if you don’t remember me. 

Thermopolis Wyoming, stranger  in the city, 

Thermopolis Wyoming, when I leave I’ll feel no pity. 

Playing on an old piano, 

They think I’m alright, 

Still they stare at my with antagonized delight. 

Thermopolis Wyoming, stranger in the city.

Thermopolis Wyoming, when I leave I’ll feel no pity.
