lyrics

Truckin' all through the night can be lonely
Especially if you're an Indian Okie
People stare at his long hair and braids
His ribbon shirt, faded jeans and shades

He calls his rig "The Oklahoma Eagle"
Haulin' loads and workin' for his people
Sweetgrass, sage and family fill his head
He'll live the Stomp Dance life until he's dead

CHORUS
The Red Road fills his soul
And he can carry any load you need
You need
He's an Indian loving life and liberty

He learned the trade from his daddy
Long ago
He's not the only Indian on the road
Ponca friends are on CB right now
Let's have ourselves a truckin' Pow-Wow

CHORUS
The Red Road fills his soul
And he can carry any load you need
You need
He's an Indian loving life and liberty

The Red Road fills his soul
And he can carry any load you need
You need
He's an Indian loving life and liberty
He's an Indian loving life and liberty
