Cherokee St Lyrics - 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 

To run dry 

Too many graves 

To be kept clean 

I shook the hand 

What each day delivers 

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
