Wish that I could be an Indian
On a painted pony so fast
No one could ever catch me
Or get caught up in my past
I'd ride across many rivers
Use many moons to tell the times
Then I'd tell all the young warriors
Many moons ago this was mine, all mine
Same ol' river, same ol' sea
Same ol' waters rushing over me
Same ol' Moon, same ol' Sun
Same ol' race that we've always run
Same ol' race that we've always run
ย
Wish that I could be a pirate
I'd like to sail the ocean blue
Way before them big liners
Started sailing them too
I'd bury most of my treasure
So I would leave a big hole
And the only real sense of pleasure that I'd get
Is sailin' free in my soul
Same ol' river, same ol' sea
Same ol' waters rushing over me
Same ol' Moon, same ol' Sun
Same ol' race that we've always run
Same ol' race that we've always run
ย
Wish that I could be a slave
Doesn't really matter what kind
I'd sing a song for fallen angels
Try and be free in my mind
Then, when no one wasn't lookin'
Well, I'd drop my heartless plow
I'd find my own contemporaries
And I'd wipe the shame from their brow
Same ol' river, same ol' sea
Same ol' waters rushing over me
Same ol' Moon, same ol' Sun
Same ol' race that we've always run
Same ol' race that we've always run
Y'all know Jerry Douglas?
ย
Wish that I could be an outlaw
Runnin' from the law sometimes
No vigilante against the seasons
But I can't help but read why
I'd always keep my revolver
Steady and fast at my side
And I'd rob a train bound for glory
'Cause I thought I needed a ride
Same ol' river, same ol' sea
Same ol' waters rushing over me
Same ol' Moon, same ol' Sun
Same ol' race that we've always run
Same ol' race that we've always run
So many things I ain't never done, yeah!
