Lyrics American Remains

I am a shotgun rider for the San Jacinto line

The desert is my brother

My skin is cracked and dry

I was ridin' on a folk coach and everything was fine

'Till we took a shorter road to save some time

The bandits only fired once

They shot me in the chest

They may have wounded me but they'll never get the best of better men

'Cos I'll ride again

I am a river gambler

I make a livin' dealin' cards

My clothes are smooth and honest

My heart is cold and hard

I was shufflin' for some delta boys on a boat for New Orleans

I was the greatest shark they'd ever seen

But the captain bumped a sandbar and an ace fell from my sleeve

They threw me overboard as I swore I didn't cheat

But I could swim

And I'll ride again

We are heroes of the homeland

American remains

We live in many faces and answer many names

We will not be forgotten

We won't be left behind

Our memories live on in mortal minds

And poets pens

We'll ride again

I am a midwest farmer

I make a livin' off the land

I ride a John Deere tractor

I'm a liberated man

But the rain it hasn't fallen since the middle of July

And if it don't come soon my crops will die

The bankman says he likes me but there's nothin' he can do

He tells me that he's comin' but the clouds are comin' too

He ain't my friend

And I'll ride again

I am an American Indian

My tribe is Cherokee

My forefathers loved this land

They left it here for me

But the white man came with boats and trains and dirty factories

Poisoned my existence with his deeds

Nature is our mother

We are sucklings at her breast

And he who tries to beat her down will lose her to the rest

They'll never win

I'll ride again

We are heroes of the homeland

American remains

We live in many faces and answer many names

We will not be forgotten

We won't be left behind

Our memories live on in mortal minds

And poets pens

We'll ride again
