The American Way

La chanson parle d'un Indien en bois, immobile à la porte d'une boutique, qui est amoureux d'une jeune femme indienne. Malgré son amour, il ne laisse jamais transparaître ses sentiments, ce qui l’empêche de savoir si elle ressent la même chose. Chaque jour, il se tient là avec ses plumes de dimanche et son tomahawk, tandis qu’elle espère qu’il lui parlera enfin. Malheureusement, un jour, une cliente achète la jeune femme et l'emmène loin, laissant le pauvre Indien en bois dans sa solitude, regrettant de ne jamais avoir exprimé ses sentiments. Il se retrouve alors comme une vieille souche, hanté par ce qu'il n'a jamais osé faire.
