John Moreland Cherokee song lyrics

I guess I got a taste for poison

I've given up on ever bein well

I keep mindin the horizon

Diggin for lies I have yet to tell

And I wish you were here

And softly say my name

Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain

I don't think I've missed you this much

Since I was seventeen

I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream

Cherokee

Cherokee

Well you'd call those doubts right out of me

I see you shinin through the tree tops,

but don't feel you pulling strings anymore

I still use your old alarm clock

Every mornin I get further off the course.

And don't I hear you speakin in the noises in this house

Airplanes flyin over, shakin all my secrets out

Darlin tell me somethin that I don't already know

I'm aware of where to find ya it hurts too bad to go

To Cherokee

Cherokee

Well, you call those doubts right out of me

It felt like the world was burnin

You had stars in your eyes

Shinin for a feelin that I can't afford to buy

Everything you taught me still rattles in my head

I'm stayin off of Main Street,

you're talking to the dead

In Cherokee

Cherokee

I wish you'd call these doubts right out of me
