text: In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
  They had to carry away that brave young man
  A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan
  Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
  Lookin back it doesnt seem so long ago
  He was bigger than life, God rest his soul
  Why he died that day is hard to understand
  Right there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
  So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while
  And take time to remember that cowboys smile
  A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan
  Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
  Gold buckles on a shelf collecting dust
  Still his memory shines inside of all of us
  Some miss their hero, some miss their friend
  His mom and daddy long to see their little boy again
  So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while
  And take time to remember that cowboys smile
  A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan
  Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
  In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
  They had to carry away that brave young man
  If your washed in the blood someday youll see him again
  It wont be in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
