Lyrics Caballo Diablo - 24-Bit Digitally Remastered 04 - Chris LeDoux

Wild as a coastal barranca
Swift as the wind blowing free
With two eyes like firebrands that glow in the night
Somewhere up there, he′s waiting for me

And he knows that I'm coming for him
And I just can′t rest 'til I find
That raven black stallion that wears no man's brand
With a wild, restless spirit like mine

They call him Caballo Diablo
Half horse, half devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop the Sierra Madre

Two men before tried to take him
They had their chance one by one
But each met his fate when those flashing′ black hooves
Brought death ′neath the Mexican sun

Still I can't leave I must find him
You fool of a horse, can′t you see?
I may be half man but the other half's devil
And you′re just exactly like me

They call him Caballo Diablo
Half horse, half devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop the Sierra Madre

Even the breeze has stopped moving
Oh hush now, be still
Don't make a sound and stay close to the ground
′Cause he's waitin' just over that hill

Downwind behind him, move quickly
Do it fast, now, he′s starting to stir
Grab a handful of mane, then up on to his back
And start raking him down with my spurs

But try as he will, he can′t shake me
As over the precipice we go
To share the life-blood of a horse and a man
On the rocky Sierra below

They call him Caballo Diablo
Half horse, half devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop the Sierra Madre
