Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Up before the sun
Before the wind cuts cold
Cowboys packing heat
Pushing cattle up and down the Yellowstone
[Verse 2]
It's a choice you make
Live and die alone
Ride high and shoot low from the saddle
When you ride for the Yellowstone
[Chorus]
I can promise you there's a special place
Deep in the mountains of a lonesome road
It never gives more than it takes
There's always a train at the station on the Yellowstone
[Verse 3]
Keep your next of kin
Your bloodlines were told
You're better off getting crossed with the devil
Than crossed with the Yellowstone
[Verse 4]
Come to take this land
Or poison the soul
You can bet you're gonna meet your maker
In the belly of the Yellowstone
In the belly of the Yellowstone
[Chorus]
I can promise you there's a special place
Deep in the mountains of a lonesome road
It never gives more than it takes
There's always a train at the station on the Yellowstone
[Verse 5]
Cowboys were here
And now they're all but gone
Nothing left but an airport sleeping on the graves of Indian bones
On the graves of Indian bones
[Chorus]
I can promise you of a special place
Deep in the mountain of a lonesome road
It never gives more than it takes
There's always a train at the station on the Yellowstone
