lyrics

Angels walk down my street, their footsteps so sweet
A sparkling dust in the heat
And calling to their hearts was my gold, it never grew old
In the winter you bought and sold

You were my children, it hurt when you left, I cried
First you stripped my riches, then you stole my pride

Like so many devils seeing their prey, you took it away
And the people ran as they may
And your fires, tired, mired down in the mud
I miss the fall of your trudging sweat, it fell to the earth with your blood

Now I see the trees and your beauty, those rivers and streams
I hadn't noticed since the first discovery
It was my fate, the state, it left my borderline
I guess thats fine, I’ll trade in the gold for pine

You were my children, it hurt when you left, I cried
First you stripped my riches, then you stole my pride

Ooo, talkin bout a fateful night,
Runnin to the river and riding till morning light

Ooo, no one saw my plight,
With the laughter and the gun smoke,
And the President taken in the night

Learnin to say goodbye to the gold and the speck in my eye
You took my curse away and left me to die
You took my curse away and left me to fly
You left me to fly
