Kane - Spirit Boy Lyrics

There's a little girl down south
And her daddy's got a ranch about 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
It says 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 out every night
Trying to find my heart and lookin' for a fight

And there were four guards standin' on the wall
I drew two six guns
And I watched them fall, oh yeah

Well I came bustin' through them gates
Into a twelve gauge and a thirty eight
But I was quick on the draw and I got em all
Yelled out to Rosa Bella

And she came walking softly through the night
With her hair so long
Lookin' at me with those big blue eyes

Well I grabbed her hand and we ran to leave
But her daddy came runnin' from around a tree
And said, "Ain't no way my daughter's leavin'
Here with no Cherokee"

Well it might it reach into his surprise
I looked him deep in his buckshot eyes
And he had his hand on his gun
But I was holdin' mine

And I'm runnin' down this Indian highway
With a bottle of red, I've got a loaded gun
And things are going my way for a change

Well, you might think
That I'm gonna be swingin' from the trees
Although I'm a spirit boy
Ain't nobody gonna catch me

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And numerous other sounds

We made love that very night
Under a burnt auburn Cancun sky
And I guess now I'm a Mexican
'Cause in Texas I'm a wanted man

She got up in a long white gown
For the man that shot her daddy down
Somewhere around in the heat of the night
There was a shot

And I'm runnin' down this Indian highway
With a bottle of red, I've 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
Although 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
Ain't nobody gonna catch me, yeah
