lyrics

I traveled down the Cheyenne River, saw the national heroes standing tall
They sold me movie tickets, to a black and white about my fall
I met a woman from the badlands, she stole my heart and then my show
So I left her naked in the plains, her mind as empty as a scarecrow

I passed redemption on the highway, thought my luck had finally turned
Made a deposit with the Devil, to find out what he had learned
I saw the ghosts of 600 Indians, they were thumbing for a ride
I asked them where they were headed, they hadn't noticed they had died

They said,
We're looking for the Red Road
We still ride the Western Skye
And when all your cities crumble, and your rivers run bone dry
Don't come begging us for mercy
Because you gave us none
When we return what you have taken, the sum adds up to one

Blew into Omaha with the Scarecrow, roped cattle for a fee
She vanished with her daughters, beyond the thousand mile tree
I left with knowledge about her people, which way the Bison run
I was searching for the Great Chief, where the horizon meets the sun

I dreamed for many miles, until I met a Horse In The Wilderness
He told me of his visions, and the owl against his breast
He rode to battle against the 7th, when the White Chief wanted more
Killed five of seven by the river, won the battle lost the war

He said
I'm looking for the Red Road
I still ride the Western Skye
And when all your cities crumble, and your rivers run bone dry
Don't come begging me for mercy
Because you gave me none
When I return what you have taken, the sum adds up to one
