Edit By: 216.73.216.40

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
IæŠŽ ride and cross many rivers
use many moons to tell time
and IæŠŽ 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 weæŠ³e always run
I wish that I could be a pirate
and sail the ocean blue
way before the big liners
started sailing there too
IæŠŽ bury most of my treasure
so I wouldnæŠ° leave a big hole
and the only real sense of pleasure IæŠŽ ge
is that I would sail free in my soul

I wish that I could be a slave yæŠ‹ll
it really wouldnæŠ° matter what kind
IæŠŽ sing a song for fallen angels
and try to be free in my mind
then when no one was looking
IæŠŽ drop my harness and plow
IæŠŽ 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 canæŠ° help but rewind
IæŠŽ always keep my revolver
steady and fast at my side
and Iæ…¸ rob a train bound for glory
if I thought I needed a ride
