Cherokee Chief Lyrics

Jerry Harrison Cherokee Chief

Got a bulletproof window
Two inches of steel
Nothing gets to me
Sitting at that wheel
Got a big gun on the top
White cat down below
No place in this whole jungle
No place I can't go

Don't look now, I'm parked outside your window
But you can't see my face through the pane
Oh, in this town it's always perfect weather
When you drink at the bar, look straight ahead
Don't inquire about your family
Don't ask to see the pictures of them dead
I don't go
I don't go nowhere
I won't go anywhere
Without my Cherokee Chief

When I was young I wondered what I'd do
Now rich men pay the bills
There's very little I won't do
All the pretty girls're dancing
But never look my way
But an M-16 is a call girl's call
with my Chief I am obeyed

I am the knight
The warrior
I do what has to be done
When I look
In your eyes
There is no place to run

Oh don't you hear, hear the voices
The voices of children in the wind
They'll play on in a high fidelity album
All the bodies in the fields of the moon

I am the rumble of distant thunder
I am the dark knock on the door
Blind with rage, you hear the thunder
Oh don't you think you can't take much more
I don't go
I don't go nowhere
I won't go anywhere
Without my Cherokee Chief

It's my strength
It's my relief
Two inches of steel and bulletproof glass
is all that I need

But I am the knight
The warrior
I do what has to be done
So look look look
Look in your eyes
I know your time has come

I am the knight
The warrior
I do what has to be done
When I look
In your eyes
There is no place to run

I am the knight
The warrior
I do what has to be done
When I look
In your eyes
There is no place to run
