Lyrics

gotta reach the river platte one inch deep and one mile wide
comin closer was a sound that topped the devil s choir
When all at once a flame is seen a lickin at the sky, and close behind us we can hear that wind infernal roar
Tryin to get to omaha we hoped to find a buyer, we lost our herd and thirty men to a raging prairie fire Robbins, i try to clear the red dust that is gatherin in my chest
We never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire, and close behind us we can hear that wind infernal roar

Gotta reach the river platte one inch deep and one mile wide, we d just one chance to get away for there s no place to hide
and every breeze is burnin singin with it s warnin cry
The grim remains are there to show that god rules you and me just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire, from ridin tail on a thousand head with the weather gettin dry
Headin east at broken bow one hot september day, we never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire
the roarin heat is closer ashes fallin by our side

We lost for neither man nor beast could long keep up the pace, and every heart is quicker and there s fear in every eye, headin east at broken bow one hot september day
We ve got to reach the river but it s still ten miles or more, tryin to get to omaha we hoped to find a buyer
The black cloud in the west is warning ride ride ride, we did our best to get away but only i am left
We did our best to get away but only i am left, the grim remains are there to show that god rules you and me just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire, the herd is gettin tired but we ve got no time to rest
And every heart is quicker and there s fear in every eye, the grim remains are there to show that god rules you and me just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire, the roarin heat is closer ashes fallin by our side

The grim remains are there to show that god rules you and me just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire, while drivin a herd of cattle out in old nebraska way Fire, a hot south wind was blowin and the air was gettin dry
When all at once a flame is seen a lickin at the sky, and every heart is quicker and there s fear in every eye, the roarin heat is closer ashes fallin by our side
we never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire
the mighty platte subdued it s rage but none were there to rest
We ve got to reach the river but it s still ten miles or more, somethin far away was spellin trouble in the sky, we did our best to get away but only i am left

we lost for neither man nor beast could long keep up the pace
We never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire, the black cloud in the west is warning ride ride ride, we lost our herd and thirty men to a raging prairie fire
Gotta reach the river platte one inch deep and one mile wide, we lost our herd and thirty men to a raging prairie fire
Headin east at broken bow one hot september day, and every heart is quicker and there s fear in every eye
I try to clear the red dust that is gatherin in my chest, i try to clear the red dust that is gatherin in my chest, the roarin heat is closer ashes fallin by our side

Gotta reach the river platte one inch deep and one mile wide, the roarin heat is closer ashes fallin by our side
Headin east at broken bow one hot september day, headin east at broken bow one hot september day Robbins, we did our best to get away but only i am left
A hot south wind was blowin and the air was gettin dry, headin east at broken bow one hot september day Robbins, when all at once a flame is seen a lickin at the sky
Then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire, headin east at broken bow one hot september day Prairie, the mighty platte subdued it s rage but none were there to rest
Comin closer was a sound that topped the devil s choir, a hot south wind was blowin and the air was gettin dry Prairie, a hot south wind was blowin and the air was gettin dry

We ve got to reach the river but it s still ten miles or more, when all at once a flame is seen a lickin at the sky
The roarin heat is closer ashes fallin by our side, i try to clear the red dust that is gatherin in my chest, and every heart is quicker and there s fear in every eye
then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire
the grim remains are there to show that god rules you and me just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire
we d just one chance to get away for there s no place to hide

when all at once a flame is seen a lickin at the sky
while drivin a herd of cattle out in old nebraska way
The mighty platte subdued it s rage but none were there to rest, then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire Prairie, and every breeze is burnin singin with it s warnin cry
the roarin heat is closer ashes fallin by our side
We lost our herd and thirty men to a raging prairie fire, the mighty platte subdued it s rage but none were there to rest

somethin far away was spellin trouble in the sky
I try to clear the red dust that is gatherin in my chest, the grim remains are there to show that god rules you and me just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire
From ridin tail on a thousand head with the weather gettin dry, the mighty platte subdued it s rage but none were there to rest
We did our best to get away but only i am left, then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire
Gotta reach the river platte one inch deep and one mile wide, a hot south wind was blowin and the air was gettin dry

the roarin heat is closer ashes fallin by our side
We never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire, we did our best to get away but only i am left, the grim remains are there to show that god rules you and me just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire
