Patty Griffin - Chief Lyrics

  • Chief
  • 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
