Cherokee St Songtext
von Son Volt

Spent all my fortunes
Laughed away more dollars and dimes
But I′ve seen the smile of a Cherokee street girl
And I know what it feels like to fly


No well water, too long drive
Too many graves to be kept clean
I shook the hand of what each day delivered
Today's world is not my home

There′s need for change, not more prisons
Decisions made with a blind eye
Just believe a better day will rise
Until then, this world is not my home

Spent all my fortunes
Laughed away more dollars and dimes
But I've seen the smile of a Cherokee street girl
And I know what it feels like to fly
