Feathered Indians Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, my buckle makes impressions
On the inside of her thigh
There are little feathered Indians
Where we tussled through the night

If I'd known she was religious
Then I wouldn't have came stoned
To the house of such an angel
Too fucked up to get back home

[Verse 2]
Lookin' over West Virginia
Smokin' Spirits on the roof
She asked "Ain't anybody told ya
That them things are bad for you?"
I said, "Many folks have warned me
There's been several people try
But up 'til now, there ain't been nothin'
That I couldn't leave behind"


[Chorus]
Hold me close, my dear
Sing your whisperin' song
Softly in my ear
And I will sing along
Honey, tell me how your love runs true
And how I can always count on you
To be there when the bullets fly

I'd run across the river just to hold you tonight
[Verse 3]
Well, my heart is sweatin' bullets
From the circles it has raced
Like a little feathered Indian
Callin' out the clouds for rain
I'd go runnin' through the thicket
I'd go careless through the thorns
Just to hold her for a minute
Though it'd leave me wantin' more


[Chorus]
Hold me close, my dear
Sing your whispering song
Softly in my ear
And I will sing along
Honey, tell me how your love runs true
And how I can always count on you
To be there when the bullets fly
I'd run across the river just to hold you tonight

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
