Story Behind the Song
I have always dug this classic song. It has been recorded by dozens of artists, but I wanted to record it with a bit more rocky approach.

An old cowpoke went riding out, one dark and windy day;
He rested on the saddle, as he rode upon his way.
When all of a sudden a might herd of red eyed cows he saw;
Thundering through the windy skies, and up a cloudy draw.
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel;
Their horns were black and shiny, as hot as you could feel.
And a bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky;
He saw some riders coming home, and he heard their mournful cry.
Yi, Pi, Yi, Ay, Yi, Pi, Yi, Yo;
Ghost Riders in the sky.
Instrumental
As they galloped past him, he heard one call his name;
If you want to save your soul from hell, ridin on this range;
Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride;
Chasin this ol devil herd, through these never ending skies.
Yi, Pi, Yi, Ay, Yi, Pi, Yi, Yo;
Ghost Riders in the sky.
Yi, Pi, Yi, Ay, Yi, Pi, Yi, Yo;
Ghost Riders in the sky.
