| I promised you if you'd love me | |
| That I'd never ever go | |
| Want you to know now that I meant that | |
| Just didn't know they'd need me so | |
| My body's here in the city | |
| But my soul is back at home | |
| My people need my education | |
| Pleading eyes won't leave my head alone. | |
| So this is running deer running | |
| To the home I left behind | |
| This is running deer running | |
| Before I run out of my mind. | |
| I told you bout the reservation | |
| And the way that I was raised | |
| How my family never had much | |
| Well now I've got some debts to pay | |
| You were born here in the city | |
| You've seen the hunger and the pain | |
| My people lived like that for centuries | |
| That's what I have got to try and change |
| I promised you if you' d love me | |
| That I' d never ever go | |
| Want you to know now that I meant that | |
| Just didn' t know they' d need me so | |
| My body' s here in the city | |
| But my soul is back at home | |
| My people need my education | |
| Pleading eyes won' t leave my head alone. | |
| So this is running deer running | |
| To the home I left behind | |
| This is running deer running | |
| Before I run out of my mind. | |
| I told you bout the reservation | |
| And the way that I was raised | |
| How my family never had much | |
| Well now I' ve got some debts to pay | |
| You were born here in the city | |
| You' ve seen the hunger and the pain | |
| My people lived like that for centuries | |
| That' s what I have got to try and change |
