0:25Drivin' down on a dry summer's day
0:28Old route 66 and i was just a kid
0:33Met a pretty little indian girl
0:34Along the way
0:36Got her into my car
0:38And tried to give her a kiss
0:41I'll give you beads and wampum
0:45Whatever it takes girl to make you trade
0:49She jumped into the back seat
0:50And she kind of flipped her lid
0:52She said you're tryin' to something for nothing
0:54Like the pilgrims in the olden days
1:07We rode for a while till the sun went away
1:10And i realized it was sort of an honor
1:12Being' around this girl
1:15I felt embarrassed
1:16Of what i tried to do earlier that day
1:18She was the saddest girl i ever knew
1:23She told me stories about the indian nations
1:27How the white man stole their lives away
1:31And although she kinda liked me
1:33She could never trust me
1:34And when the sun comes up
1:36We'd go our different ways
1:39Now everybody has got the choice
1:42Between hotdogs and hamburgers
1:47Every one of us has got to choose
1:50Between right and wrong
1:53And giving' up or holding' on
2:24So i dropped her off at some railroad crossing in texas
2:27An old indian man was waiting there
2:31He smiled and thanked me
2:33But he saw right through me
2:34I could tell he didn't like me
2:36For my kind he did not care
2:39Because to him i was the white man
2:43The one who sold him something that he already owned
2:47And it was like he'd been riding in the car right there with us
2:50And i felt ashamed of my actions
2:52And the way the west was really won
2:55So i drove down the highway
2:57Till i came to los angeles
2:59The town of the angels
3:00The best this country can do
3:03I got down on my knees
3:04And i asked for forgiveness
3:06I said lord forgive us for we know not what we do
3:11Everybody has got the choice
3:15Between hotdogs and hamburgers
3:20Every one of us has got to choose
3:23Between right and wrong
3:25And giving' up or holding' on
Drivin' down on a dry summer's day Old route 66 and i was just a kid Met a pretty little indian girl Along the way Got her into my car And tried to give her a kiss I'll give you beads and wampum Whatever it takes girl to make you trade She jumped into the back seat And she kind of flipped her lid She said you're tryin' to something for nothing Like the pilgrims in the olden days We rode for a while till the sun went away And i realized it was sort of an honor Being' around this girl I felt embarrassed Of what i tried to do earlier that day She was the saddest girl i ever knew She told me stories about the indian nations How the white man stole their lives away And although she kinda liked me She could never trust me And when the sun comes up We'd go our different ways Now everybody has got the choice Between hotdogs and hamburgers Every one of us has got to choose Between right and wrong And giving' up or holding' on So i dropped her off at some railroad crossing in texas An old indian man was waiting there He smiled and thanked me But he saw right through me I could tell he didn't like me For my kind he did not care Because to him i was the white man The one who sold him something that he already owned And it was like he'd been riding in the car right there with us And i felt ashamed of my actions And the way the west was really won So i drove down the highway Till i came to los angeles The town of the angels The best this country can do I got down on my knees And i asked for forgiveness I said lord forgive us for we know not what we do Everybody has got the choice Between hotdogs and hamburgers Every one of us has got to choose Between right and wrong And giving' up or holding' on
