"Reservation" by Don Record Stuck out here on this reservation Dancin' Eagle, he can't fight back anymore Stumblin' around at the railroad station Dancin' Eagle can't dance Cause he's passed out on the floor We see him out here most every evenin' He's always got a bottle in his hand He comes walkin' in town like a chieftain But he winds up in the county jail For tryin to make just one last stand But walkin' across this dusty field And searchin' the sky for his sacred shield Mighty Brotherhood The whiteman's word's no good If he can't make a deal You know he'll steal And he feels such frustration You know he's got it achin' in his heart Climbin' the walls of his reservation Allthough he's tried, still he just can't take it The tribe broke up, still a few try to fake it Livin' a lie and it's tearin' him apart So he hangs around at the local drugstore Where all great heroes come to die and fade away I remember how he'd dance up and down on the wood floors Like an eagle dancin' Up and down upon it's prey Stuck out here on this reservation And Dancin' Eagle, he can't fight back anymore Stumblin' around at the railroad station Dancin' Eagle can't dance Cause he's passed out on the floor Dancin' Eagle can't dance Cause he's passed out on the floor
