There's a little girl down south
And her daddy's got a ranch about as big as my town
And one day I swear I'm gonna go down there and get her out
From the letter that I got last fall
It says you know you're the one I love most of all
But My face is up on the sheriffs wall and there's reward signs posted up and down
The Red River Line that I cross out every night
Trying to find my heart and looking for a fight, and there were four guards
Standing on the wall I drew two six guns and I watched them fall, oh yeah
Well I came busting through them gates into a twelve gauge and a thirty-eight,
But I was quick on the draw and I got em all, yelled out to Rosa Bella,
And she came walking softly through the night,
With her hair so long looking at me with those big blue eyes,
Well I grabbed her hand and we ran to leave,
But her daddy came running from around a tree
And said ain't no way my daughters leaving here with no Cherokee
Well it might it reach into his surprise
I looked him deep in his buckshot eyes
And he had his hand on his gun but I was holding mine
And I'm runnin down this Indian highway
with a bottle of red
I've got a loaded gun and things are going my way for a change
Well you might think that I'm gonna be swinging from the trees
Although I'm a spirit boy...
Ain't nobody gonna catch me
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah and numerous other sounds
We made love that very night
Under a burnt auburn Cancun sky
And I guess now I'm a Mexican cause in Texas I'm a wanted man
She got up in a long white gown
For the man that shot her daddy down
Somewhere around in the heat of the night there was a shot
And I'm running down this Indian highway
With a bottle of red
I've got a loaded gun and things are going my way for a change yeah
Well you might think that I'm gonna be swinging from a tree
Although I'm a spirit boy
Ain't nobody gonna catch me
Yeah I'm a spirit boy
Ain't nobody gonna catch me
Yeah I'm a spirit boy
Ain't nobody gonna catch me
Yeah....
