I never broke a law in Arkansas but they treated me like a thief
Like a greenhorned coward, like a pink wallflower 'cause they couldn't get no relief
Oooh why don't you get me out of here - why don't you?
And they would not let me go out to the place where I belong
And they would not care about my urge - how could I feel strong?
Oooh why can't I leave this god-damned place? - I have to!
Stampede - by tumbleweeds (riots in the prairie)
I need the bouncing cattle beat
Stampede - stampede!
I crossed thru Nevada on a spitting lama, I was too late
Sure, I had to ride somewhere - close to Heaven's gate
Oooh why don't I reach this sacred state? I will!
I never broke the law anywhere - still feel treated like a thief
Like a greenhorned coward, like a pink wallflower, like a widespread desert leaf
Oooh I keep on riding on and on - close to nowhere!
Stampede - by tumbleweeds (riots in the prairie)
I need the bouncing cattle beat
Stampede - stampede!
Stampede - by tumbleweeds (riots in the prairie)
I need the bouncing cattle beat
Stampede - stampede!
