The Dogsoldier in Texas

I was ridin' my pony
on the Llano Escadado
Herdin' my hosses toward the trail down the wall
The sky started groanin', A Texas Blue Norther!
We gotta get down cause it'll sure kill us all

It was gettin damned cold on that edge of the Staked Plains
The wind was a howlin' then it started to hail
I was hopin' to get us to that trail down this mountain
But the ponies are spooked and I'm destined to fail

What in the world? What's that up front there?
Why are these broomtails all headed that way?
A lone Comanche horseman sittin' his pinto
Keepin' my ponies from goin' astray

Well, they followed him and I followed them
Then he dissappeared and my ponies did too
I found the trail down, but no sign of my horses
It's the 21st century and the Comanche still knows the moves
