The Spirit Trail

They robbed my father of his very soul

Hey hey hiy
I've got to walk the spirit trail.

Hey hey hiy
Be a brother and a friend to me
Leave the footprints of a warrior
Be a brother and a friend to me
I've seen them come
Let every step that I take
I've seen them go
To find a better way
To be like one of them
And I will never be another one
But I was born a native son

To give it all away
Above the ridge an eagle flies

But I don't want to be
Let every step that I take
In lazy circles in the western skies
I want to follow it
Off to the oilfields and rodeos
To be like one of them
They took control
I've got to walk the spirit trail
Let every creature I see
But I can hear a different song
Hey hey hiy
The took the land
I want to walk the spirit trail
Along the spirit trail.
And I'm riding fast across this dusty road
They leave their native soil
Hey hey hiy
Hey hey hiy
Hey hey hiy

The drum within my heart is beating strong
No, I don't want to be
I want to fly with him
Leave the footprints of a warrior
Let every creature I see
