Yellow Stud Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Somewhere on the Prairie, a yellow stud runs free 

Runnin' through the sage brush, down through the coolies 

There not far behind him, a cowboy rides along 

He's gonna try to catch him and break him for his own 

The chase goes on all morning and late into the day 

The cowboy changes horses, he staked along the way 

The stud is growin' weaker, now and gettin' short of wind 

He runs into the trap corral, the cowboy shuts him in 

The yellow stud with wild eye, the feared hated man 

Finally standin' face to face in the hot and dusty sand 

The battle starts and rages on beneath the burning sun 

Cowboy tried but couldn't ride that yellow outlaw stud 

So he sold him to a Rodeo and it spread throughout the land 

The legend of this yellow stud, the baddest of the bad 

And then one day in Cheyenne we knew it had to come 

The best of all Bronc riders, he drew that yellow stud 

The wooden gate flew open and the stud, he bailed out high 

An explosion of yellow horse seemed to fill the sky 

The stud kept getting stronger and thrashing up the earth 

Cowboy blew a stirrup, crashed into the dirt 

So violently the stud had bucked that he slipped and fell 

As he went down back his backbone snapped the yellow stud lay still 

Well, his cowboys gathered 'round him, I heard one of 'em say 

There'll never be another Bronc like the one that died today 

But out there on the Prairie there's a mare with Mustang blood 

And a colt runs close behind her, a yellow outlaw stud
