Hank Williams Jr. - Stampede lyrics

Stampede is close behind us, can my pony get us free? The thunderin' herd is gainin', dust to spell our destiny Stampedin' hoofs are beatin' d**h upon the ground I know my pony shares my fears of the meaning of this sound We feel their hot breath on us as they close the gap between Their red eyes shootin' fire their bodies gaunt and lean Please answer this prayer father, please hear us as we call Don't let my pony stumble, Lord, don't let my pony fall Stampede (Stampede Stampede Stampede) Thunderin' through the night Ten thousand cattle runnin' wild With fire in their eyes Today a ranch fire spooked them and filled their hearts with rage Now they charge down a forest us through the prickly pear and sage This cowboy and his pony have bu*t one chance to succeed To reach that pa** up yonder is their most important need A fleeting vision's in my mind of the happy days we spent Herdin' these same doggies to their pastures of content Lord up above please hear us and grant us this one deed Don't let my pony stumble, god, our way through this stampede Stampede (Stampede Stampede Stampede) Thunderin' through the night Ten thousand cattle runnin' wild With fire in their eyes Then came a clash of lightning as the heavens opened wide A downpour fell upon us and cooled their flamin' hides Mighty roars of thunder as God heard the cries at last And guided this poor cowboy and his pony through the pa** Stampede (Stampede Stampede Stampede) Thunderin' through the night Ten thousand cattle runnin' wild With fire in their eyes Ten thousand cattle runnin' wild With fire in their eyes
