    I've worked all across Wyoming for the last several years, doing wildlife research. This song came on one morning as I was driving home, and I ended up absolutely speechless due to how he captured the feel of life out here.

    I saw James McMurtry years ago not knowing that many of his songs, and this one absolutely blew me away.

    Once upon a time I was in a medically induced coma after removal of part of my right lung thanks to a 2-pack a day habit. Once they brought me out of the coma and I started remembering dreams I had, not sure if it was in the coma or right after. But one of the dreams was I was in the hospital in rural Wyoming, I'm from Utah and at the time lived in Arizona, I remember looking out the window at the highway at night in the dream, I saw all the semi-truck lights off in the distance coming towards me, hundreds of them. That's about all I remember other than the smell of Burger King.
    Three years later my sister introduced me to James McMurtry's music. When I heard Lights of Cheyenne I was in shock, this line was my dream. "As the diesels come grinding on up from the plains, All bunched up like pearls on a string". Still makes me wonder how things work out in life. I've gotten to see James a dozen or so times and always look forward to hearing this song.

    Every song, a short story or even a novella. Absolutely brilliant song writer.
