The Double Diamond - Chris Ledoux[00:00:01]
The ol' Double Diamond[00:00:07]
Lay out east of Dubois[00:00:11]
In the land of the buffalo[00:00:14]
And the auctioner's gavel it[00:00:20]
Rapped and it rattled[00:00:24]
As I watched the ol' Double Diamond go[00:00:27]
And won't you listen to the wind[00:00:33]
Mother nature's violin[00:00:40]
When I first hired on[00:00:51]
At the ol' Double Diamond[00:00:54]
I was a damn poor excuse for a man[00:00:57]
I never learned how to aim[00:01:04]
While my spirt was tame[00:01:07]
I didn't know all the cards in my hand[00:01:10]
And the wind whipped the granite above me[00:01:17]
And blew the tumbleweeds clean[00:01:24]
Through my soul[00:01:27]
Well I fought her winters[00:01:35]
And I busted her horses[00:01:38]
I took more than I thought I could stand[00:01:40]
But the battles with the mountains[00:01:47]
And the cattle[00:01:50]
Will bring out the best in a man[00:01:54]
I guess a sailor needs an ocean[00:02:00]
And a mama her babies to hold[00:02:07]
But I need the plains of Wyoming[00:02:14]
In the land of the buffalo[00:02:21]
But now she's sellin' out and I'm movin' on[00:02:32]
But I'm leaving with more than I came[00:02:37]
Cause I got this pony and he ain't for[00:02:45]
Sale and I've got this song to sing[00:02:49]
I've got a new range to find[00:02:57]
I've got a new knot to tie[00:03:01]
In a country where cowboys are king[00:03:04]
We turned tails to the wind[00:03:14]
At the ol' Double Diamond[00:03:17]
And took off down through the sage[00:03:21]
And won't you listen to the wind[00:03:27]
Mother nature's violin[00:03:34]
