Drivin' down a dry summer's day Old route 66 and I was just a kid Met a pretty little indian girl Along the way Get her into my car And tried to give her a kiss I'll give you beads and wampum Whatever it takes, girl To make you trade She jumped into the back seat And she kinda flipped her lid She said, "you're trying to get Somethin' for nothin' Like the pilgrims in the olden days"We rode for a while Till the sun went away And I realized it was a sort of an honor Bein'around this girl I felt embarrassed Of what I tried to do earlier that day She was the saddest girl, I ever knew She told me stories about the indian nations And how the white man stole their lives away And although she kinda liked me She could never tust me And when the sun comes up We'd go our different waysNow everybody has got the choice Between hotdogs and hamburgers Every one of us has got to choose Between right and wrong And givin' up or holdin' onSo I dropped her off At some railroad crossing in texas An old indian man was waiting there He smiled and thanked me But he saw right through me I could tell, he didn't like me For my kind, he didn't care Because to him, I was the white man The one who sold him something That he already owned And it was like he'd been ridin' in the Car right there with us And I felt ashamed of my actions And the way the west was really won So I drove down the highway Till I came to los angeles To the town of the angels The best, this country can do I got down on my knees And I ask for forgiveness I said, "lord, forgive us For we know not, what we do"
