LETRA

Poster Child

The smell of the sage bush reaches your brain
The scent of the pines from the snow covered range
You came out tonight there in search of a friend
Well, the Wyoming wind wants to play with your bangs

Hang on, handsome
We are going to get you out of here quick
Hang on, handsome
Just wait, and watch out for the bicyclist

The sun it goes down now, for a second black night
It's you in the outskirts, not a soul here in sight
The beautiful sky as your last piece of hope
The same moon and stars that you saw through the telescope

Hang on, handsome
We are going to get you a new pair of shoes
Hang on, handsome
The bicyclist he will know what to say and do

Jury selection begins today in Laramie, Wyoming, for the trial of 23 year-old Aaron McKinney
McKinney faces charges of kidnapping, aggravated robbery and first-degree murder
In the beating death one year ago of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Sheppard

Hang on, handsome
We are going to get you out of here quick
Hang on, handsome
Just wait and watch out for the bicyclist

According to police, early one morning they got a call about a fight down a neighborhood street
Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson spotted two young men slashing car tires, then got into a brawl
After police broke up the fight, they looked inside McKinney's pick-up truck and found Shepard's credit card
A blood-covered .357 magnum pistol, and a pair of leather shoes
But none of it made sense until Sheppard was found beaten and unconscious tied to a fence

Laramie, Wyoming is finally on the map. Across the country, everyone knows where Laramie is now, for all the wrong reasons
