The Stone Coyotes - Plain American Girl lyrics

One night as I lay sleeping And everything was still I dreamed I saddled up and rode away To the top of Dead Man's Hill I could see from the horizon To the stars in the Milky Way I could hear a lone dog crying And the turning of wheels on the highway I'll ride out tonight when the moon is high Ride away from the world And I'll ride out down the Chisolm Trail I'm a plain American girl I looked to the east and I looked to the west Far as the eye could see I saw a man - he had a plow in his hand And he said, "What will become of me?" Indian maid, why do you stand so still By the streams that used to flow She said, "My Gods have told me secrets You will never know." We ride out tonight when the moon is high Ride away from the world We ride out down the Mohawk Trail I'm a plain American girl These ghostly apparitions They were so eerie and so strange I saw the cowboys drive the cattle down Shadows and dust on the range And a soldier lay where his blood was shed He said, "Don't weep for me My men and I - we still ride At the call of Reveille" We ride out tonight when the moon is high Ride away from the world And we ride out through the waves of grain Through the mountains and the valleys and the plains The Mississippi River runs in my veins I love the saddle and the feel of the reins Because I am and I will always remain A plain American girl
