《Cherokee Highway (In the Style of Western Flyer)(Performance Track with Demonstration Vocals)》歌词

[00:00:01] Mississippi in 61 they watched his daddy die

[00:00:06] Guided by the light of a burning cross that lit the delta sky

[00:00:13] Kevin and Willie ten years old they were best of friends

[00:00:20] The only way you could tell them

[00:00:22] Apart was the color of their skin

[00:00:27] Come on Willie Kevin screamed lets got out of here

[00:00:33] Willie´s numb can´t even run frozen there with fear

[00:00:41] So Kevin takes off through

[00:00:43] The woods yelling I´ll be back for you

[00:00:47] Running fast out of breath

[00:00:48] Can´t stop and rest his daddy would know

[00:00:51] What to do

[00:00:53] And rushing through the door he sees the eyes of a man

[00:01:00] His daddy´s washing the blood out of

[00:01:03] A sheet but it won´t come off his hands

[00:01:07] And the blood still runs down Cherokee Highway

[00:01:14] A senseless river filled with all they shared

[00:01:20] Just two dark sides to Cherokee Highway

[00:01:27] But black or white the blood still runs red

[00:01:38] Now the fire has set the fuse

[00:01:40] In a town that just won´t learn

[00:01:44] The word is out

[00:01:45] Make the white man pay gonna watch his farmhouse burn

[00:01:52] Midnight the flames begin Kevin´s daddy´s the first to rise

[00:01:57] So he grabs his gun and he grabs

[00:02:00] His wife but Kevin´s still inside

[00:02:04] But from the shadows comes a boy with darker skin

[00:02:11] Though they killed his daddy gonna save his friend

[00:02:15] He runs through the door as the house falls in

[00:02:18] And the blood still runs down Cherokee Highway

[00:02:25] A senseless river filled with all they shared

[00:02:32] Just two dark sides to Cherokee Highway

[00:02:38] But black or white the blood still runs red

[00:02:55] Standing in the ashes he sees what hate really is

[00:03:02] Two little bodies both burned black

[00:03:05] Can´t tell which child is his

[00:03:10] And the blood still runs down Cherokee Highway

[00:03:17] A senseless river filled with all they shared

[00:03:24] Just two dark sides to Cherokee Highway

[00:03:31] But black or white the blood still runs red

[00:03:36] Down Cherokee Highway

[00:03:40] It still runs red

[00:03:43] Down Cherokee Highway

[00:03:47] Ooo
