The Spirit Trail lyrics
by Fogelberg Dan



The light is longThe sun is lowI'm riding fast across this dusty roadBut I don't want to beNo, I don't want to beAbove the ridge an eagle fliesIn lazy circles in the western skiesI want to fly with himI want to walk the spirit trail.I've seen them comeI've seen them goOff to the oilfields and rodeosTo find a better wayThey leave their native soilBut I can hear a different songThe drum within my heart is beating strongI want to follow itI've got to walk the spirit trail.ChorusLet every creature I seeBe a brother and a friend to meLet every step that I takeLeave the footprints of a warriorAlong the spirit trail.Heya-heya heya hiyoHeya-heya heya hiyoHeya-heya heya hiyo.The took the landThey took controlThey robbed my father of his very soulTo be like one of themTo be like one of themBut I was born a native sonAnd I will never be another oneTo give it all awayI've got to walk the spirit trail.(Repeat chorus)
