Lost River Outpost

Lost River Outpost - Brenn Hill

Out on Highway 84

Forty miles outside of town

Down the old gravel road

You can hear the lonely sound

Buffalo soldiers falling down

Some who try to run away

Some run away to try to hide

Some are running from the law

Law don't ever come inside

Looking for the children of the night

And I sing for the lonely and forgotten

The wounded hearts that need a song the most

Buffalo soldiers who fought and died

Outside of that old Lost River outpost

The lonely desert buckaroos

They ask for the Little Wrangler Joe

Soldiers like gospel and the blues

Songs from the war that I don't know

Places in the heart that I don't go

And the good old boys just out of prison

They like songs about the train

But when I sing a song about their mama

You know I can feel their pain

Sometimes the tears fall like rain

I sing for the lonely and forgotten

The wounded hearts that need a song the most

Buffalo soldiers who fought and died

Outside of that old Lost River outpost

And the wind can make you crazy

Blowin' through the cracks in the walls

Sounds like the chorus of a thousand demons

Trapped here inside these halls

Buffalo soldiers one and all

So sing for the lonely and forgotten

Sing for the hearts that need it most

And the buffalo soldiers who fought and died

Outside of that old Lost River outpost

And the buffalo soldiers who fought and died

Outside of that old Lost River outpost
