I promised you if you'd love me |
|
That I'd never ever go |
|
Want you to know now that I meant that |
|
Just didn't know they'd need me so |
|
My body's here in the city |
|
But my soul is back at home |
|
My people need my education |
|
Pleading eyes won't leave my head alone. |
|
So this is running deer running |
|
To the home I left behind |
|
This is running deer running |
|
Before I run out of my mind. |
|
I told you bout the reservation |
|
And the way that I was raised |
|
How my family never had much |
|
Well now I've got some debts to pay |
|
You were born here in the city |
|
You've seen the hunger and the pain |
|
My people lived like that for centuries |
|
That's what I have got to try and change |
