Same Old River
|
|
I wish that 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? ride and cross many rivers
|
use many moons to tell time
|
and I? tell all the young warriors
|
(many moons ago this was mine all mine
|
|
same old river same old sea
|
same old water rushing over me
|
same old moon same old sun
|
same old race that we?e always run
|
I wish that I could be a pirate
|
and sail the ocean blue
|
way before the big liners
|
started sailing there too
|
I? bury most of my treasure
|
so I wouldn? leave a big hole
|
and the only real sense of pleasure I? ge
|
is that I would sail free in my soul
|
|
I wish that I could be a slave y?ll
|
it really wouldn? matter what kind
|
I? sing a song for fallen angels
|
and try to be free in my mind
|
then when no one was looking
|
I? drop my harness and plow
|
I? find my old contemporaries
|
and wipe the shame from their brow
|
I wish that I could be an outlaw
|
riding from the laws of time
|
an old vigilante against the seasons
|
that I can? help but rewind
|
I? always keep my revolver
|
steady and fast at my side
|
and I? rob a train bound for glory
|
if I thought I needed a ride
|
