Miles To Go

A long walk in the night rain
Times are hard and it seemed
That the rain would have understood
That the Lakhotas here in Rosebud
Have gotten harder than the times
They didn’t stop to give a lift, man
They just drove on by
And pretended that the poor deserved
The hard fate that keeps falling
In the night
Even with miles to go, man
Even with miles to go
