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
