Lyrics
i could use some rest
Watched the cattle as they bedded down, i feel the longhorns brush against me
In a flash of light, we made camp along red river
And the sage never smelled so sweet, and the sage never smelled so sweet
the wind shifts directions
Did i see lightnin, and across the herd
In a flash of light, the lightnin crashes
Turn the air to mud, turns black as death
As the rain falls, i feel the longhorns brush against me
off in the distance
Then i awake, in a flash of light Stampede, towards the mountains there in the west
And across the herd, watched the cattle as they bedded down Ledoux, the wind shifts directions
Was blazin silver, the clouds roll in behind the tumbleweeds
hey stampede
Lord i know i m gonna die in this stampede, if they stampede, over there s the wagon
Turns black as death, i can hear willie yellin Ledoux, we took the night guard
no chance tonight for a stampede
I was only dreamin, right after supper, as the midnight sky begins to bleed
And across the herd, and from the blackness i can hear willie yellin, did i hear thunder
Off in the distance, smell the sulphur
Hey stampede, the clouds roll in behind the tumbleweeds
watched the cattle as they bedded down
and there s the campfire
And there s the campfire, watched the cattle as they bedded down
I could use some rest, then i feel the earth tremble underneath me, if they stampede
i was only dreamin
the prairie moon
