I'm an Indian as old as the mountains, the sea and the sky I sit in my teepee watching the cars on the freeway pass me by I knew the land when it was unspoiled before the settlers came I knew the land before it was polluted by falling acid rain I'm an Indian as old as the streams and rivers that flow into the sea I walked the land without a helping hand and knew that I was free I watched the buffalo disappear that once roamed the endless grassy plain I saw tall buildings rise, highways built and the tracks that brought the train The factories came that created jobs and brought in workers by the score The forests were cut and the land was plowed and still they wanted more I'm an Indian as old as the first time man walked on the moon I sit in my casino and hope for a return to the beginning very soon
