Cadd9 G
Wishin I could be an Indian
Cadd9 G
On a painted pony so fast
Cadd9 G
No one could ever catch me
Cadd9 G
Or get caught up in my past

I’d ride across many rivers
Cadd9 G
Use many moons to tell time

And I’d tell all the young warriors
Cadd9 G
Many moons ago this was mine – all mine

Cadd9 G
Wishin I could be a pirate
Cadd9 G
And sail the ocean blue
Cadd9 G
Way before the big liners
Cadd9 G
Started sailin there too
Cadd9 G
And I’ve buried most of my treasure
Cadd9 G
So I wouldn’t leave a big hole
Cadd9 G
And the only real sense of pleasure I get
Cadd9 G
Is that I - sail free in my soul
Repeat Chorus
Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G
Verse 3:
Cadd9 G
Wishin I could be a slave ya’ll
Cadd9 G
It really wouldn’t matter what kind
Cadd9 G
I’d sing a song for fallen angels
Cadd9 G
And try to be free in my mind
Cadd9 G
Then when no one was lookin
Cadd9 G
I’d drop my harness and plow
Cadd9 G
And I’d find my old contemporaries
Cadd9 G
And wipe the shame from their brow
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4:
Cadd9 G
Wishin I could be an outlaw
Cadd9 G
Ridin from the law sometime
Cadd9 G
An Ole vigilante against the seasons
Cadd9 G
But I can’t help but read why
Cadd9 G
And I always keep my revolver
Cadd9 G
Steady and fast at my side
Cadd9 G
And I’d rob a train bound for glory baby
Cadd9 G
If I thought I needed a ride
Repeat Chorus

So many things I ain’t ever done
