Spirit Boy

There's a Little Girl Down South
And Her Daddy's Got a Ranch
'bout As Big As My Town
And One Day I Swear
I'm Gonna Go Down There and Get Her Out
From the Letter That I Got Last Fall
She Said You Know You're the One I Love Most of All
But My Face Is Up On the Sheriff's Wall
And There's Reward Signs Posted Up
And Down the Red River Line
That I Cross That Very Night
Trying to Find My Heart and Looking For a Fight
And There Were Four Guards Standing On the Wall
I Drew Two Six-guns
And I Watched Them Fall
Oh Yeah
Yeah
Well I Came Busting Through Them Gates
Into a 12 Gauge and a 38
But I Was Quick On the Draw and I Got 'em All
Yelled Out to Rosa Bella
As She Came Walking Softly Through the Night
Her Hair So Long and Looking At Me
With Those Big Blue Eyes
I Grabbed Her Hand and We Ran to Leave
But Her Daddy Came A-running From Around a Tree
And Said
"Ain't no Way My Daughter's Leaving Here With no Cherokee"
Oh Yeah
Well, in My Rage and to His Surprise
I Looked Him Deep in His Buckshot Eyes
And He Had His Hand On His Gun But I Was Holding Mine
And I'm Running Down This Indian Highway
In a Ball of Red
I Got a Loaded Gun and Things Are Goin' My Way For a Change
Well, You Might Think That I'm Gonna Be Swingin' From a Tree
Oh, no I'm a Spirit Boy
Ain't Nobody Gonna Catch Me
No, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...
(Chanting)
We Made Love That Very Night
Under a Burnt Auburn Cancun Sky
I Guess Now I'm a Mexican
'cause in Texas I'm a Wanted Man
She Got Up in An All-white Gown
From the Man Who Shot Her Daddy Down
Somewhere in the Heat of the Night There Was a Shot & Idots
And I'm Running Down This Indian Highway
In a Ball of Red
I Got a Loaded Gun and Things Are Goin' My Way For a Change
Yeah
Well, You Might Think That I'm Gonna Be Swingin' From a Tree
I Know I'm a Spirit Boy
Ain't Nobody Gonna Catch Me
Yeah
I'm a Spirit Boy
Ain't Nobody Gonna Catch Me
Yeah
I'm a Spirit Boy
Yeah
Ain't Nobody Gonna Catch Me
Yeah
