Cherokee City

Well, I just pulled out of Cherokee City,
where the girls are too rich and they're way too pretty
to give a second look to a long-haired rocker like me
they're all lookin' for a boy with the right family tree,
but my grandfather was in stone masonry,
so I guess that just put me out of their game
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
well, Ii gotta job at the factory
but time clocks loadin' docks just ain't me
walkin' around, singin' my songs
the boss was alright but i had to move on
so I loaded out, busted loose, pedal down, chasin' truth
Mary's my girl we were off and on
left her cryin', you don't know what you want
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said,
Mary kiss me one more time
i need to feel something warm and true,
cause I got holes deep inside,
it's not you, it's me
Ended up in Nashville, Tennessee
outside of town where the rent is cheap
I ain't a star i drive used cars
holdin' on to my dreams
Mary followed me to town
got a job at a hair salon
she knows lots of bigshots
passes my tapes along
I don't know why she hangs around
picks me up when i'm feelin' down
I tend to de-construct
push my luck
cause I hear music in the wheels rollin' along
I hear words in a love gone wrong
and I may not be worth so much
but Mary got this song
so Mary kiss me one more time
I need to feel something warm and true
cause I got holes deep inside
it's not you, it's me
it's not you, it's me
it's not you, it's me
