CAMPFIRE IN THE RAIN
Verse 1:
Twilight on the warpath
Painted for a fight
Looking to a bloodbath
Later in the night
Options gettin’ narrow
Bison disappear
Settler takes an arrow
Ain’t no winner here.
Chorus:
You can ride till your pony crumbles down
Say you tried, be the last to stand your ground
Empty words, loaded guns, and who’s to blame
Fade away like a campfire in the rain.
Verse 2:
Blue coats on the trail
Red man on the run
Treaty gonna fail
Diplomacy is done
How high will the price go
To take life for a life
Look sharp to the shadow
It’s war to the knife.
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
Dreams, in the end
Were too big to defend
That’s small consolation
On the reservation.
(repeat chorus)
