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
Iâd ride across many rivers
Use many moons to tell time
And Iâd tell all the young warriors
Many moons ago this was mine â 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 weâve always run
Same ole race that weâve 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 Iâve buried most of my treasure
So I wouldnât 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 yaâll
It really wouldnât matter what kind
Iâd sing a song for fallen angels
And try to be free in my mind
Then when no one was lookin
Iâd drop my harness and plow
And Iâd 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 canât help but read why
And I always keep my revolver
Steady and fast at my side
And Iâd rob a train bound for glory baby
If I thought I needed a ride
Repeat Chorus
So many things I ainât ever done
