Buffalo Hurricane

I took a last sip of my smooth Kentucky bourbon It was deep in the dead of night out by the firelight I got to thinkin' of all the hell that I'd been through Family and friends all gone, mine's such a lonely song
All my dreams ended up being shattered And all my accomplishments just don't seem to matter I don't know why but I just keep on trying This life is just so harsh sometimes I feel like dying
They filled me full of buckshot in one of those silly wars The land was painted red, by all the countless dead I returned home only to find my house consumed in flames It burnt right to the ground, my wife was never found
Into the starlight I stare and I wonder If this life is drowning me why don't I stay under? Everything important to me has been taken I'm just a leaf-less tree that's still being shaken
And now I feel the earth splitting asunder Could Satan have unleashed his demons of thunder? The plains all around me don't provide the escape I need Angel of death in a buffalo stampede
And now I face the onslaught of around ten thousand head My fate is sealed for good I'd change it if I could My heart pounding in my chest I've never felt so alive I can't believe it's true; the herd has split in two
Buffalo hurricane, you gave me strength at last Live for today and forget about your past My life has taken a whole new direction It feels as though there's been some sort of strange resurrection
