Lyrics

I was driving the rig out of Texas
Full loaded and bound for Cheyenne
Taking my pleasure so freely
Just a good loving, rambling man
I had quite a way with the ladies
Sweet daddy was my middle name
'Til I got to a place they call Denver
And I ain't never been quite the same
I've been to St. Louie and Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver
Lord, that's where I'm settling down
Well, I kissed her and swore that I loved her
I told her someday she'd be mine
Then I laughed all the way back to Texas
Ha-ha, think she'd believe that old line
Well, I got to pining for Denver
It's funny how things come to be
As I slipped the ring on her finger
Well, I knew that the laugh was on me
I've been to St. Louie and Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver
Lord, that's where I'm settling down
Now all you young fellas take warning
You single men run for your lives
Be careful and stay out of Denver
Or else you'll wind up with a wife
You'll walk down the street unsuspecting
And you won't believe what you see
'Cause the prettiest girls live in Denver
Lord, you'll end up happy like me
I've been to St. Louie and Abilene
I've rambled through many a town
But I got me a woman in Denver
Lord, that's where I'm settling down
Got me a woman in Denver
Lord, that's where I'm settling down
