I was freezing on the banks of Platte River

                                                
And I was thinking of General Custer and his last stand

                                                             
And I bowed my head, what has HE done, he had my freedom on the run

                               
I was thinking how they shot Mr. Lincoln

                                         
And I remembered all the mountains that he made

                                                                   
And I bowed my head what have THEY done They've got my freedom on the run

                         
The river is wide and it's wicked

                                          
But it ends where there's peace for one and all.


                                  
I was thinking of the measure of my weakness

                                
Like so many I condemn and do not know

                                                                
And I bowed my head what have WE done We've got our freedom on the run

                         
The river is wide and it's wicked

                                          
But it ends where there's peace for one and all.  (ooohh Fade ...)
