patty griffin - chief lyrics
chief had been out of the army
for 15 years or more
he was still marching up and down that street
just like he was a-walking a war
they called him the chief because he was indian
it was a name they said behind his back
in the summer he? d march without any shoes
until the soles of his feet turned black
? till the soles of his feet turned black
his hands wouldn? t work the machinery
cause his brain told him what to say
it? s a h-ll of a life
but its somebody? s life
up and down the street all day
honey have a look at the places
like a dog running on a track
the wheels keep on going as fast as you get there
you don’t ever get to go back
i don’t really know what i’m doing
just watching myself in some play
and the actress looks like she wants to go home
and lie in bed all day
yeah lie in a big bed all day
her hands wouldn? t work the machinery
cause his brain tells him what to say
it? s a h-ll of a life
but its somebody? s life
up and down the street all day
well i wish that you could see me when i’m flying in my dreams
the way i laugh there way up high
the way i look when i fly
the way i live
the way i fly
chief got out of the army
jesus went to live with the poor
i’m still marching up and down that street
i don’t know what i’m doing that for
i don’t know what i’m doing that for
i don’t know what i’m doing that for
