Great Great Grandma was a native A Cherokee that never walked the trail And I know that it’s naive to believe She lived a Pocahontas fairy tale When her parents and her sisters Turned heel and walked out west I can almost see her crying on that blue-eyed cowboy’s chest Maybe that’s why younger me would sit and watch old westerns And never know who I'd like to win When I brush my teeth I look in the mirror and see both of them Made me not wanna play Whenever my friends would ask Which side are you gonna take? Cowboys or Indians My brother always took the cap gun and left me rubber arrows every time And I guess that from the outside it made sense My skin was tan and his was pasty white But if you look through human eyes, those two sides are all you’ll get But it covers up the bigger war between the spirit and the flesh Maybe that’s why younger me would sit and watch old westerns And never know who I'd like to win And the more that I would see There was something I don’t wanna be about both of them Still don’t know what to say whenever I ask myself Cowboys or Indians Now my daughter’s asking questions Daddy, why’re sisters eyes not brown like mine And that feels as hard to answer as Daddy, why did Jesus have to die? Just like younger me, she likes to watch old westerns And asks me if the good guy’s gonna win So I just point to Calvary where the body that was broken broke for both of them Oh yeah that veil was torn Girl he won that war Made us so much more Cowboys or Indians Great Great Grandma was a native A Cherokee that never walked the trail

Great Great Grandma was a native
A Cherokee that never walked the trail
And I know that it’s naive to believe
She lived a Pocahontas fairy tale
When her parents and her sisters
Turned heel and walked out west
I can almost see her crying on that blue-eyed cowboy’s chest
Maybe that’s why younger me would sit and watch old westerns
And never know who I'd like to win
When I brush my teeth I look in the mirror
and see both of them
Made me not wanna play
Whenever my friends would ask
Which side are you gonna take?
Cowboys or Indians
My brother always took the cap gun
and left me rubber arrows every time
And I guess that from the outside it made sense
My skin was tan and his was pasty white
But if you look through human eyes, those two sides are all you’ll get
But it covers up the bigger war between the spirit and the flesh
Maybe that’s why younger me would sit and watch old westerns
And never know who I'd like to win
And the more that I would see
There was something I don’t wanna be about both of them
Still don’t know what to say whenever I ask myself
Cowboys or Indians
Now my daughter’s asking questions
Daddy, why’re sisters eyes not brown like mine
And that feels as hard to answer as Daddy, why did Jesus have to die?
Just like younger me, she likes to watch old westerns
And asks me if the good guy’s gonna win
So I just point to Calvary where the body that was broken broke for both of them
Oh yeah that veil was torn
Girl he won that war
Made us so much more
Cowboys or Indians
Great Great Grandma was a native
A Cherokee that never walked the trail
Thank you for typing in the lyrics.
Such a POWERFUL song!
