Stampede-Chris LeDoux

[00:33.35]We made camp along Red River [00:37.30]Watched the cattle as they bedded down [00:40.91]Back at the wagons, right after supper [00:46.17]We spread our bedrolls on the ground [00:49.04]And me and Willie, we took the night guard [00:52.92]And the sage never smelled so sweet [00:57.06]The prairie moon, was blazin' silver [01:00.82]No chance tonight for a stampede [01:06.82]Way over yonder, off in the distance [01:10.69]Towards the mountains there in the west [01:14.76]Did I see lightnin', did I hear thunder [01:18.63]My mind is weary, I could use some rest [01:22.69]Then all at once, the wind shifts directions [01:26.63]The clouds roll in behind the **********s [01:30.63]These longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless [01:34.45]God help us all, if they stampede [01:40.63]Smell the rain, hear the thunder [01:44.57]The midnight sky, turns black as death [01:48.63]The lightnin' crashes, smell the sulphur [01:52.38]It's rank and strong, it's Satan's breath [01:56.51]The cattle rise up, and go to runnin' [02:00.26]I spur my pony on and take the lead [02:04.26]And across the herd, I can hear Willie yellin' [02:08.20]Hey Stampede! [02:46.26]Dust clouds rise, as the rain falls [02:50.13]They mix together, turn the air to mud [02:53.94]I feel the longhorns brush against me [02:57.76]And I can feel the demons racin' through my blood [03:01.88]Then all at once, my pony stumbles [03:05.88]We hit the ground, I rise up to my knees [03:09.76]In a flash of light, I can see the cattle comin' [03:13.69]Lord I know I'm gonna die in this stampede [03:19.94]Then I awake, and I look around me [03:23.82]I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the ground [03:27.63]Over there's the wagon, and there's the campfire [03:31.63]I was only dreamin', but what's that sound? [03:37.70]Then I feel the earth tremble underneath me [03:41.70]As the midnight sky begins to bleed [03:45.57]And from the blackness I can hear Willie yellin' [03:49.51]Hey Stampede
