Cherokee St - Son Volt

Spent all my fortunes

Laughed away more dollars than dimes

But I’ve seen the smile of a Cherokee St. 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 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 than dimes

But I’ve seen the smile of a Cherokee St. girl

And I know what it feels like to fly
