Intro

Verse 1

Wishin I could be an Indian

On a painted pony so fast

No one could ever catch me

Or get caught up in my past

I’d ride across many rivers

Use many moons to tell time

And I’d tell all the young warriors

Many moons ago this was mine – all mine

Chorus

Same ole river, same ole sea

Same ole water rushin over me

Same ole moon, same ole sun

Same ole race that we’ve always run

Same ole race that we’ve always run

Verse 2

Wishin I could be a pirate

And sail the ocean blue

Way before the big liners

Started sailin there too

And I’ve buried most of my treasure

So I wouldn’t leave a big hole

And the only real sense of pleasure I get

Is that I - sail free in my soul

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

Wishin I could be a slave ya’ll

It really wouldn’t matter what kind

I’d sing a song for fallen angels

And try to be free in my mind

Then when no one was lookin

I’d drop my harness and plow

And I’d find my old contemporaries

And wipe the shame from their brow

Repeat Chorus

Verse 4

Wishin I could be an outlaw

Ridin from the law sometime

An Ole vigilante against the seasons

But I can’t help but read why

And I always keep my revolver

Steady and fast at my side

And I’d rob a train bound for glory baby

If I thought I needed a ride

Repeat Chorus

So many things I ain’t ever done
