Up before the sun
Before the wind cuts cold
Cowboys packing heat
Pushing cattle up and down the Yellowstone
It's a choice you make
Live and die alone
Ride high and shoot low from the saddle
When you ride for the Yellowstone
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
Keep your next of kin
Your bloodlines were told
You're better off getting crossed with the devil
Than crossed with the Yellowstone
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
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
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
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
