Spirit Boy lyrics

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
