Stampede

Didn't go real far

Gettin' too drunk to tune your guitar

But I was right there, baby

Telling 'em all how good you are

We hit like a stampede

Them cows just runnin' from a ghost

In the dark off the back deck

Of where I loved you the most

Heard you're in a bad way

In some place west of San Antone

And your ma's real worried

And they told me not to call

I don't need to call

I can close my eyes and be back in our love

It's forever somewhere, a loop we're part of

Behind the foggy haze and mist

Is an endless prairie

I see us there as kids

I loved you beyond time

Beyond all pain

Shatter the lamp, the light remains

Didn't go real far

Gettin' too drunk to tune your guitar

But I was right there, baby

Telling 'em all how good ya are

We hit like a stampede

Them cows just runnin' from a ghost

In the dark off the back deck

Of where I loved you the most

Heard it's a battle

I know you're given 'em hell

And maybe I can love you better

From three states away, with someone else

Wishing you well
