on 10/9/12 at 3:02 pm to oOoLsUtIgErSoOoI'm from Wyoming so I can answer this...Cheyenne is the Capitol and home to the claimed "Grand Daddy of All Rodeos" Cheyenne Frontier Days. It was at CFD that bull rider and friend to Garth and George, Lane Frost, was killed by a bull. All their songs that use Cheyenne are tributes to Lane.

Because the cowboy died in Cheyenne but lived on the ocean in CA where his wife ran into the ocean when she heard the news.
