12. Example 3
I've been driving in my Indian Car,
My car is dented, the radiator steams,
To the pound of the wheels drumming in my brain,
One headlight don't work, but the radio can scream,
My dash is dusty, my plates are expired,
I got a sticker, It say's "Indian Power",
Please Mr. Officer, let me explain
I stuck it on my bumper, that's what holds my car
I've got to make it to a Pow-Wow tonight, together
I'll be singing 49, down by the river side,
Were on the circuit of an Indian dream, we don't get
Looking for a sugar, riding in my Indian Car
old, we just get younger
When were flying down the highway, riding in our Indian
Got my T-Bird in the glove-box, I ain't got no spare,
Cars
Got a feather from an eagle, I ain't got no cares,
The road is empty, as my bottle of desire, Were on the circuit of an Indian dream,
Daylight is breaking, the sun touches fire We don't get old,
We just get younger,
I've got to make it to a Pow-Wow tonight,
When were flying down the highway,
I'll singing 49, down by the river side,
Riding in our Indian Cars,
Looking for a sugar, riding in my Indian Car
Riding in our Indian Cars,
Riding in our Indian Cars
