Tracy Grammer - Lord of the Buffalo lyrics

Once upon a world long gone in the shelter of an early dawn they were half a million strong made the valley rumble come the hunters with their rifle balls he heard the fury of his daddy's fall came crying to his mama's call saw her break and stumble so he ran with the swift and young from the hunters and their hungry guns ran until he was the only one on the silent prairie see him wander in the hills alone always looking for that haven home and the father of his father's own, and a sanctuary there's an endless plain beyond the curtain of the pouring rain where the golden prairie rolls forever and the tall gra** grows bitter wind blowin' high and wild, have mercy on your wayward child in search of an age ago and the lord of the buffalo grey eagle left the blue-eyed town climbed the mountain where he once looked down saw the worry in the furrowed ground and the heart plowed under he woke walking in a dream one night saw a vision by the foxfire light mighty horns and a coat of white and a voice like thunder there's an endless plain beyond the curtain of the pourin' rain where the golden prairie rolls forever and the tall gra** grows bitter wind blowin' high and wild, go easy little wayward child there's a home for the restless soul, said the lord of the buffalo last night i heard the coyote wail slipped away from the white man's jail went runnin' down the trickster trail with the moon behind me in the hills before sunrise i saw a silhouette against the sky i'll be runnin' till the day i die or the hunters find me there's an endless plain beyond the curtain of the pourin' rain where the golden prairie rolls forever and the tall gra** grows bitter wind blowin' high and wild, gather up your little wayward child so the saint and the sinner go to the lord of the buffalo so the saint and the sinner go to the lord of the buffalo so the saint and the sinner go to the lord of the buffalo
