Chief Lyrics - 1000 Kisses - Patty Griffin

Chief had been out of the army 

For fifteen years or more 

He was still marching up and down that street 

Just like he was a-walking a war 

They called him the chief because he was Indian 

It was a name they said behind his back 

In the summer he'd march without any shoes 

Until the soles of his feet turned black 

Till the soles of his feet turned black 

His hands wouldn't work the machinery 

'Cause his brain told him what to say 

It's a hell of a life but it's somebody's life 

Up and down the street all day

Honey have a look at the places 

Like a dog running on a track 

The wheels keep on going as fast as you get there 

You don't ever get to go back 

I don't really know what I'm doing 

Just watching myself in some play 

And the actress looks like she wants to go home 

And lie in bed all day 

Yeah lie in a big bed all day 

Her hands wouldn't work the machinery 

'Cause his brain tells him what to say 

It's a hell of a life but it's somebody's life 

Up and down the street all day 

Well I wish that you could see me 

When I'm flying in my dreams 

The way I laugh there way up high 

The way I look when I fly 

The way I live, the way I fly 

Chief got out of the army 

Jesus went to live with the poor 

I'm still marching up and down that street 

I don't know what I'm doing that for 

I don't know what I'm doing that for 

I don't know what I'm doing that for
