A5
The light is long the sun is low

G5
I'm riding fast across this dusty road

F5
But I don't want to be,

G5                 A5  A5
No I don't want to be

 A5
Above the ridge an eagle flies

G5
In lazy circles in the western skies

F5
I want to fly with him

G5                   A5         A5
I want to walk the spirit trail
A5 A5 G5 G5 A5 A5 G5 G5 VERSE:
 A5
I've seen them come I've seen them go

G5
Off to the oilfields and rodeos

F5
To find a better way,

 G5                      A5   A5
They leave their native soil

A5
But I can hear a different song

G5
The drum within my heart is beating strong

F5
I want to follow it,

G5                  A5         A5
I got to walk the spirit trail

Let every step that I take

Along the spirit trail

A5 A5 G5 G5 A5 A5 G5 G5 VERSE:
 A5
They took the land, they took control

 G5
They robbed my father of his very soul

F5
To be like one of them,

G5                 A5   A5
To be like one of them

A5
But I was born a native son

G5
And I will never be another one

I've got to walk the spirit trail
