Patty Griffin
(1000 Kisses)
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
'til 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 hell of a life
But its
somebody's life
Up and down the street all day
Honey, I've been put through the
paces
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 hell 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 | | | |
