歌曲歌詞
I am a shotgun rider for the San Jacinto line
The desert is my brother
My skin is cracked and dry
I was riding 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
'Cause I'll ride again
I am a river gambler
I make a living dealing cards
My clothes are smoothed and honest
My heart is cold and hard
I was shuffling for some delta boys
On a boat for New Orleans
I was the greatest sharp 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 places
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 living 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 nothing he can do
He tells me that he's coming
But the clouds are coming too
He ain't my friend
And I'll ride agin
I am an American Indian
My tribe is Cherokee
My forefathers loved this land
They left it here for me
But the white men came with boats
And trains and dirty factories
Poisoned my existence with his deeds
Nature is our mother
We are suckling her breast
He who tries to beater 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 places
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
