Spirit Horse of Cherokee (Classic Version)

Verse 1

Crimson sky is bleeding

Wide prairie holds the heat

Thundering rhythm moving

Cracking ground beneath her feet

Muskellunge water rushing

Starlight finds a place to rest

Pre-Chorus

Broken wire fences

Tangled in the sage

Crying for the mountains

Breaking out the cage

Chorus

Spirit horse of Cherokee

Ghost of the canyon wall

She runs wild she runs free

Answering the ancient call

Running hard running fast

Stronger than the chains they cast

Spirit horse of Cherokee

Verse 2

Leather straps were useless

Fire burns within her lungs

Iron couldn't hold her

Voices speaking hidden tongues

Shadow on the river

Lightning in the chestnut hair

Pre-Chorus

Mountain mist is rising

Dust clouds in the air

Crying for the timber

Nowhere left to care

Chorus

Spirit horse of Cherokee

Ghost of the canyon wall

She runs wild she runs free

Answering the ancient call

Running hard running fast

Stronger than the chains they cast

Spirit horse of Cherokee

Bridge

White paint on the shoulder

Gallop through the red clay rain

Born before the hunger

Born before the pain

Red clay rain

Through the rain

Chorus

Spirit horse of Cherokee

Ghost of the canyon wall

She runs wild she runs free

Answering the ancient call

Running hard running fast

Stronger than the chains they cast

Spirit horse of Cherokee
