[00:02.00]Chris Ledoux - Stampede
[00:22.00]
[00:32.60]We made camp along Red River
[00:36.42]Watched the cattle as they bedded down
[00:40.55]Back at the wagons, right after supper
[00:44.35]We spread our bedrolls on the ground
[00:48.67]And me and Willie, we took the night guard
[00:52.62]And the sage never smelled so sweet
[00:56.57]The prairie moon, was blazin' silver
[01:00.45]No chance tonight for a stampede
[01:06.06]Way over yonder, off in the distance
[01:10.54]Towards the mountains there in the west
[01:14.23]Did I see lightnin', did I hear thunder
[01:18.16]My mind is weary, I could use some rest
[01:22.50]Then all at once, the wind shifts directions
[01:26.23]The clouds roll in behind the tumbleweeds
[01:30.13]These longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless
[01:33.97]God help us all, if they stampede
[01:39.86]Smell the rain, hear the thunder
[01:44.26]The midnight sky, turns black as death
[01:48.04]The lightnin' crashes, smell the sulphur
[01:51.99]It's rank and strong, it's Satan's breath
[01:55.81]The cattle rise up, and go to runnin'
[01:59.89]I spur my pony on and take the lead
[02:03.93]And across the herd, I can hear Willie yellin'
[02:07.96]Hey Stampede!
[02:45.65]Dust clouds rise, as the rain falls
[02:49.66]They mix together, turn the air to mud
[02:53.55]I feel the longhorns brush against me
[02:57.44]And I can feel the demons racin' through my blood
[03:01.49]Then all at once, my pony stumbles
[03:05.46]We hit the ground, I rise up to my knees
[03:09.44]In a flash of light, I can see the cattle comin'
[03:13.15]Lord I know I'm gonna die in this stampede
[03:19.32]Then I awake, and I look around me
[03:23.24]I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the ground
[03:27.39]Over there's the wagon, and there's the campfire
[03:31.52]I was only dreamin', but what's that sound?
[03:36.87]Then I feel the earth tremble underneath me
[03:41.13]As the midnight sky begins to bleed
[03:45.10]And from the blackness I can hear Willie yellin'
[03:49.81]Hey Stampede
