Stampede (Radio Version)

In the style of

Chris LeDoux

Lyrics

we made camp
along red river
watched the cattle
as they bedded down

back at the wagons
right after supper
we spread
our bedrolls
on the ground

then me and willy
we took
the night guard
and the sage
never smelled
so sweet

the prairie moon
was blazin' silver
no chance tonight
for a stampede

way over yonder
off in the distance
towards
the mountains
there in the west

did i see lightning
did i hear thunder
my mind is weary
i could use some rest

then all at once
the wind
shifts directions
the clouds
roll in behind
the tumbleweeds

these longhorn
cattle are
gettin' restless
god help us all
if they stampede

smell the rain
hear the thunder
the midnight sky
turns black as death
lightnin' crashes
smell the sulfur
it's rank and strong
as satan's breath

the cattle rise up
and go to runnin'
i spur my pony on
to take the lead
and across the herd
i can hear willy yellin'
hey stampede

dust clouds rise
as the rain falls
they mix together
turn the air to mud

i feel the longhorns
brush against me
and i can feel
the demons
racin' through
my blood

then all at once
my pony stumbles
we hit the ground
and i rise up
to my knees

in a flash of light
i can see
the cattle comin'
lord i know
i'm gonna die
in this stampede

then i awake
and i look around me
i'm in my bedroll
and i'm layin'
on the ground

over there's
the wagon
and there's
the campfire ha
i was only dreamin'
but what's that sound

then i feel the earth
tremble
underneath me
as the midnight sky
begins to bleed

and from
the blackness
i can hear willy yellin'
hey stampede
